Nope… it’s the city or county who is the jerk…

They approve large developments with no consideration for accommodating increased traffic or road improvements. If the city can’t afford to improve traffic flow, they need to put pressure on the developers to cover the costs either directly or indirectly.

Am I the jerk?

Sounds like you are completely within your rights and shouldn’t feel like a jerk

Slim

Clearly the residents don’t share the same sentiment.

ChiCityCoug

I don’t blame them. But it is the fault of the city and not yours

Sounds like the city needs to put a traffic light in.

For sure, the homes are being built faster than the roads can be updated. Takes

Probably not, I don’t watch cars driving down my road at all.

Lol your other post didn’t last long at all. Was hoping to respond.

Are those residents paying for the street, or is the taxpayer?

ReiUrso

5/5/22 1:17pm

I don't blame the neighbors for being mad. Need a traffic light at intersection.

5/5/22 12:21pm

Not a jerk. Ignore them.

Nah you are good. They should be complaining to the city about the congestion at the intersection, if anything. The

It's inconsiderate, but not wrong or illegal.

I don't even view it as inconsiderate if you are following traffic laws

Good point. I mean she would have no recourse against me. All she would have

ChiCityCoug

Probably just a citizens arrest

What law did I break?

Joking. Referring to a recent post.

Ok yeah I saw that one as well. Nice haha. I actually want an update on that one

It is inconsiderate

Putting garbage cans across a public road is inconsiderate

Not even. It's smart. Roads are there for a reason.

Adwight

5/5/22 12:36pm

That road is not there for that reason.

Sea Chicken

5/5/22 12:40pm

If there is a public road it's a valid place to drive. Sorry you don't like it.

Adwight

5/5/22 12:43pm

This isn’t the point. He’s not asking if he’s breaking the law.

DiamondMo

5/5/22 12:45pm

Of course it is. They don’t build public roads just for the homes on that street

Put a sign in your car window saying "you should move to a better neighborhood"

Funny enough it’s the “richer” neighborhood in the area and on the neighborhood

ChiCityCoug

Then their response surprises me even less.

RootieBoy

5/5/22 12:34pm

Make the sign "Should've bought that house on the cul-de-sac!"

5/5/22 12:38pm

Even better

Baron

Any neighborhood who has a FB group deserves more traffic.

WWJD? I think he would take the shortcut.

5/5/22 12:39pm

I would call Code enforcement on THEM. They can’t block a public right of way.

If they’re blocking the right of way then you can turn them in to the city.
