yeah, i was wondering that....i mean there's usually some day stuff, but at least 81 for the most part does theirs at night (which starts as my "day" ends so i take 11....alllllll the way from hagerstown to ship...try to tell myself to enjoy the ride...HAR!)

i think that system is most efficient for the "major" repairs (not the potholey things) and/or street work that's more than the quick fixes....

Right, of course it wouldn't be very prudent to fill in potholes and do minor repairs at night; there also might be an issue with doing night work in a residential area. It wouldn't be fun having construction equipment outside you window all night.

Except to this should Routes 11 and 30. If you live on a major thoroughfare like that, you should be used to noise anyway. Then again, State Routes are the responsibility of the state.

So, maybe this isn't the best idea I've ever had, but it would be nice... for me.

Here's a little map I've made of the Gabler tract area and the traffic situations that annoy me, enjoy!:

Coppy's map is great...and so right!

Please...place more info on it! Bad roads, scary downtown areas, difficult left turns to make, etc.

lmao coppy...RIGHT ON!

i agree 100% and actually use the route you do.....if just more would...

you should add one about how bottlenecked the norland light is when you're leaving and heading towards town....i try to avoid it too (during certain times of the day....quiet times iti's a-ok)

great map! hehe...

For once I can agree with Coppay and his map. I willadmit once in awhile I'll trurn left from walker but not during "rush hour traffic". I wish taht the smarts at penn dott would of left the old 81 bridge so I didn't have to wait forever to turn left at Kohler Roadand walker. That use to be a short cut but not anymore...seems to take longer than a good day on 30 when you hit every green light!

.45, I was told 'if you ever have enough money to buy stock, don't buy into plastic. buy the street pipe, buy low. reason, All of the streets in the U.S.A. have street pipes that were put in when not so many cars and truck were using them, (the streets), with the increased rumbles and jiggles, they are just to old to handle that, and pop they go. By the time they replace them all your stock will just increase, because now the ones that were replaced first will be old and pop they go.

Just right click it and select "Copy link location," it's on imageshack (which I prefer over photobucket, but they're both ok. I just figure, a shack is bigger than a bucket, right?)
