Gizmag, a blog I receive about new and emerging technologies, reports something good coming surfacing out of nearby Raleigh (don’t worry, this time is wasn’t stolen from Durham.)
It is a revolutionary traffic design by North Carolina State University researchers that virtually eliminates left hand turns on regular surface streets in cities and towns.
NCSU will present the successfully tested “superstreet” concept to Federal transportation officials in Washington D.C. during the last week in January.
I know, most of us are still adapting to the new interchange design at the I-40/Fayetteville St approach to Durham’s Streets at Southpoint, but I’m all for Superstreets.
Obviously, for any “anti-government” folks, this not just for convenience but to reduce traffic tie ups, improve productivity and reduce pollution.
