80 MPH SPEED SIGNS

[CHenry]

I just want to know who is responsible for the stupidity that is the interchange at I-35 and 19th Street in Moore and if they have been drawn and quartered yet.

You would make a good highway traffic engineer.
THAT is a egineering NO NO.Stoplights that close together with that volume of traffic. I-40 and council is the same way and I have to drive that one twice a day.

Well, I have 20+ years CAD experience in commercial architecture. Tell me someone that would hire me to do that.

Come to ODOT, always hiring CADD people but for design only. Or POE and associates...Triad design, CEC...Several that pay WELL for CADD experience. Probably $80k??

I have always visualized our speed limits were already 80. That visualization costed me about a month ago when I got a ticket on 235 going 78 in a 60.

Do you mind sharing with us what that traffic citation costs these days?

I'll have to check in with them. Being self-employed is GREAT. You know, until it isn't. :-)

Ha, I grew up in Tulsa north of American Airlines on Mingo Road. The traffic circle at Admiral was on the way to most anywhere I went, all four directions. It worked well as long as people knew how to use it, like most things. haha.

Just as a side note for some posting here who we may have crossed paths in years past, I started Bid News Construction Reports in 1995 and sold it to iSqFt in 2009. Retirement is nice, I highly recommend it ASAP.

this interchange is pretty cool.
We have one coming to OK and you'll see more of them.

They are planning one at I35 and Waterloo.

At least, that's the scuttlebutt.

How about he divergent diamond? That would blow the minds of some the country driving folk out here.

I've seen those in other states (Indiana and California, I think), and I drove through one in College Station, TX last winter. There's supposed to be one coming to an I-40 interchange out by Elk City.

If you look at the way they work, they actually make some sense.
