We get too many spiders in the basement this time of year, so the shop vac is my best friend. If possible, I try to release them outdoors. There was one time many years ago where I did intentionally step on a spider. I stopped stepping on spiders after that because once I stepped on it, it was a mother spider, and tiny little spiders which were on its back started scattering all over the place. If any of them grew up to adulthood I never saw them. It was an intersting observation though. Same. Spiders are our friends.

I guess, this means, a private police escort off the property would be over the top and unnecessary? 😄😄😄

This might have been posted before. But I'm not going to scroll through 1,005 pages to verify that.

Thank you soooooo much for posting this I have been studying it to see if I can come up with an answer to "why". I haven't yet. Wish it showed a wider area.

I can think of a few possibilities that you can't tell from the picture. 1) Steepness of grade if they tried to make the road straight 2) Danger to support columns needed to build straight across due to current usage zoning of land 3) Unsuitability of land to support weight of columns, road and traffic Or am I being to pragmatic?

I did consider the steepness issue. If the railroad tracks were closer to the intersection, I could see that as more likely.

I thought similar things especially on the grade and support column issues. If it was a straight shot like the pic, the grade would be very steep I think returning into traffic. Without pics closer to the ground it's hard to know what the surrounding land and levels really are. And where might water flow in that area.

But all lanes empty into what looks like one way traffic based on the vehicles on the road. The bottom four lanes of the emptying giving way look like the traffic would cross the one way road and continue to somewhere else. Though the very, very bottom lane does look like an entrance onto the highway and maybe merging into traffic? Are those people in the roads just about everywhere? Like crossing the streets?

Doesn’t left lane driving allow for the circle loop road to be two way driving? Looks like people to me.

Either late tonight or tomorrow morning I am going to search the internet for the photo and hopefully find a fuller photo.
