  2. To me it looks like the picture is distorted at the magazine location. Looks like a printing error. Your mileage may vary. A man without a mustache is like a hamburger without a bun, Un-American.
  3. The problem is that onebuys a property/house from someone else. The person owning it before you can set restrictions on the deed for almost whatever he/she wants, except for ones deemed unconstitutional. A man without a mustache is like a hamburger without a bun, Un-American.
  4. http://www.rogersmushrooms.com This site has lots of mushroom/fungi. It is also organized so you can try to identify them. http://americanmushrooms.com/gallery.htm As does this one If you are intested in mushrooms pick up a field guide so you can identify them on your hikes.

  6. If i recall after Sept 11th the fedral govt. changed the building setbacks and building codes. This put many previous fedral buildings no longer adequate. Now this one seems to have fallen into this same category. We just need to replace it or modifiy the building and landscaping. A man without a mustache is like a hamburger without a bun, Un-American.

  9. Roads are not designed for cars at least in modern transportation design. The turning radius of semi-trucks, school buses, garbage trucks, and delivery trucks are usually what streets are designed for. To me it looks like the intersection would be wide enough for a semi-truck to make the U-turn putting him most likely in the far lane where the RoR car would be. These movements should be at a slow enough speed as not to cause a collision. However the turning movement with a green light at the intersection would have the right of way. If there is no signal the movement which starts on the major street would have the right of way. A man without a mustache is like a hamburger without a bun, Un-American.
  10. Assuming the west 209 to north 1-35S right turning movement. It would seem that TxDOT did not take into account AM peak right turning movements if there is a lot of back up as you describe. This intersection was recently reconstructed and TxDOT should have may adequate capacity for AM peak right turning movements. Still and illegal maneuver.

  11. Sounds like you need to move closer to work or work closer to where you live. Which direction (west 290 to north I-35) at this intersection are you describing? A man without a mustache is like a hamburger without a bun, Un-American.
  12. Re-reading post #24 you state that the right turn lane has it's own signal and that it is an arrow rather than solid. This would indicate that the right turn lane has a protected right turn. Therefore if you make the turn as described you would be violating the signal and they would no longer be protected. This is probably the best reason for it being illegal.

  13. Do you think a semi-truck could make the turn you did without hitting a car, curb, or other. The radius around the triangle striping/bike lane probably does not provide enough room for this turning movement. I would say it is illegal. Why not look for solutions. Draw the entire intersection and see if you can come up with better right turn movements. As you said before the city knows there is a problem i.e. the police enforcement. edit: From the aerial photo it looks like the right turn should not have to stop it should only need a yeild. It has it's own lane on Rt. 29 and only need enough distance to speed up and merge. Not knowing the design speeds of the two roads it is hard to say if adding distance to the merging lane would help. I do not understand why the right turn lane has a signal and have to stop. A man without a mustache is like a hamburger without a bun, Un-American.
