When Travis Baker retired he didn’t quit doing the Road Warrior column for us.
The one for today came from someone whose name got lost, but Travis decided to check on it.
“Now that Burwell is shut down between Pacific and Park,” the person wrote, “I wonder why the light at Burwell and Pacific isn’t shut off and the intersection made into an all-way stop until the tunnel construction is complete and Burwell is reopened.”
Bremerton’s traffic engineer said he’d give the idea a try.
Read the story here.
Based on my own observations, it has been the “out of towners” who have been treating it as a lighted 4-way stop. The locals treat it as a 3-way stop.
On my way to work, I noticed this and also noticed that traffic was not backed up. Great idea!
