READ THE LETTER – EPISODE 42 – Dear City Planners
Thanks for that multi-lane roundabout. We love the chaos.
Dear Urban Engineers of Whimsy and Confusion,
Just wanted to drop a quick note to say: congratulations. You’ve successfully turned a simple intersection into a four-lane Mad Max battle arena and called it “progress.”
Because clearly, when faced with the choice between a functional traffic light and a swirling death vortex of blinking yield signs, you said, “Let’s spice it up.”
Let’s be honest:
- Nobody knows the rules.
- The yield signs are just suggestions.
- Every exit feels like a panic attack with blinker confusion.
- And “lane discipline” is now a myth like Bigfoot or reliable city council meetings.
Did we need a roundabout with 3 lanes, a concrete donut, and seven exits?
No.
But you gave us one anyway, like Oprah giving out car crashes.
“You get a merge! YOU get a merge! Nobody gets clarity!”
And the best part?
You installed it in a city where half the population can’t handle a 4-way stop.
Bold move. Chaos levels: European vacation with no map.
Look, we understand you read one article from 2007 about “fluid traffic movement in Denmark,” but we live in a place where people still park diagonally across two spots at Walmart.
We’re not ready.
So, thank you.
For turning morning commutes into NASCAR tryouts.
For making left turns a philosophical question.
And for single-handedly raising our insurance premiums.
Round and round we go sincerely savage,
Your bewildered, blinker-mashing citizens
