Stop and Go

Never quite seen a city like Reno where almost every light makes you stop first before it let's you go through an intersection.  Other cities allow their traffic to flow, but not so in Reno.  The lights here keep the traffic bunched up, making it almost impossible to make a lane change, even miles in advance.  Get in the middle of a group of cars and you're gonna get stopped almost every time.  It's only when you break free from the pack that you might have a chance.  What's up, Reno?  I guess we figure a D is a good enough grade, eh?  Hopefully next year we'll get an F; then just maybe something will be done about our traffic lights.  Until then... no complaining about our air pollution!!  Let the traffic flow.

021 VWX

Black Tahoe speeding 60+ in a 30mph zone.  Impatient after being stopped at many red lights, but it's this kind of impatience that will kill a child walking across the street.  Are you willing to live with that?  The kid's parents certainly aren't.

115 RZK

This silver Toyota Camry pulls out right in front of me from a neighborhood intersection.  No stopping or slowing down at all. I follow her to the next intersection.  Barely slows down a bit and continues straight through it, making a right turn without signaling.  I follow it to the next intersection.  She almost goes forward in front of a truck, but stops in time. No right rear brake light. Lady driver has brown hair. Her final destination? The library. I woulda thought hospital. Bumper sticker: Obama. Brilliant.

ABSLTLY

Little gray car with NV plate ABSLTLY loves to weave in and out of traffic, quickly and carelessly.  License plate frame says "You just got passed by a girl!"  Obviously she gets a kick out of it. Look out.

Galetti & Kietzke

Heading southwest down Kietzke, the light at Galetti turned red on me just before I got to it.  It was 5:20am and not a single car in sight.
