Northern Utah traffic is terrible and it keeps getting worse. Boy I wish I could move away….unfortunately divorce is probably the only way I could leave the state (know any good divorce attorney😉)

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

5/5/22 12:21pm

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.

Yes!

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

then the citizens need to put pressure on the city to not allow more building...

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

The only time I care about people driving on my road is when the dirt bikes

I would do some of thoe things (signs, speedometer, etc) to make sure it's safe

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

ChiCityCoug

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.

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.

Mister P

5/5/22 12:24pm

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

Doogal McCougar

5/5/22 12:33pm

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

ChiCityCoug

5/5/22 12:35pm

Probably just a citizens arrest

Great38

5/5/22 12:38pm

What law did I break?

ChiCityCoug

5/5/22 12:39pm

Joking. Referring to a recent post.

Great38

5/5/22 1:37pm

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

ChiCityCoug

How in the world did I miss this thread? I swear, I hate work sometimes.

Superman21

It is inconsiderate

Putting garbage cans across a public road is inconsiderate

It is

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

Superman21

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

Baron

5/5/22 12:26pm

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

ChiCityCoug

5/5/22 12:27pm

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!"

Kilgore Trout

5/5/22 12:38pm

Even better

Baron

5/5/22 1:15pm

Any neighborhood who has a FB group deserves more traffic.

ochobeeguy

They use to live in a better neighborhood until he and others started using it

gwill

5/5/22 12:32pm

Sounds like you local leadership needs to get involved to improve traffic

SJS

5/5/22 12:27pm

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

Sounds like these residents think they live in a gated community but they don't.

It can get bad still, but it used to be consistently bad every day at rush hour

BrancisFernard

5/5/22 12:39pm

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

If it is a public street, you may use it and the woman

After living at the Riv and Cambridge Court, I will never complain about traffic

I don't blame them. YOU may not be speeding, but others are. City's fault.

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