Expensive Getter of Solutions: Final political cycle I noticed an ArDot truck driving down Arkansas 10 gathering political indicators weeks earlier than the election — I assume a right-of-way violation. What’s the minimal setback for indicators alongside state highways? — Curious on Cantrell
Expensive Curious: Tempus fugit. That’s, time flies. This was one in all solely two Latin phrases we bear in mind from finding out the language for 3 years in highschool. The opposite was picus nicus, which roughly interprets to picnic.
Time flies so quick that early voting for the preferential primaries begins Might 9; the primaries are Might 24. Additionally the nonpartisan normal election, for judges and justices and such.
The Arkansas Division of Transportation reminds us to not place indicators in its proper of approach. Two causes:
First, they could hinder visibility. Second, if a car leaves the roadway, it would run over an indication, including insult to damage.
A rule of thumb is to search for utility strains or poles alongside a roadway. Place an indication behind the road or pole, and it needs to be out of the proper of approach. Indicators collected by ArDot crews might be recovered throughout regular enterprise hours at space upkeep places of work.
Expensive Mahatma: Will town set up a flashing yellow left-turn arrow on the intersection of northbound Chenal Parkway and St. Vincent Method? Initially town said (per your column) that visibility to southbound Chenal Parkway visitors was the difficulty. The intersection has been modified so now there are two left-turn lanes from southbound Chenal to Arkansas Programs Drive. This transformation appears to have addressed the earlier visibility challenge. — Lefty
Expensive Lefty: Your quoting of this column makes us consider Ron Ziegler and Charles Barkley, two wildly totally different characters.
Ziegler was press secretary for President Richard Nixon. Allow us to truncate Ziegler’s most notorious quote, uttered whereas evading the White Home press corps: “(T)hat is the operative assertion. The others are inoperative.”
Barkley, after a number of scandalous quotes have been revealed in his autobiography, stated he was misquoted. It takes supreme confidence for a fellow to accuse himself of misquoting himself.
Backside line, Lefty, is that no matter has been written on this house is topic to additional evaluation and/or believable deniability.
Now to the query, the reply to which comes from Invoice Henry, town of Little Rock’s visitors engineering supervisor. First, a reminder {that a} flashing yellow arrow permits a flip, however the driver should yield to oncoming visitors.
Henry stated flashing yellow arrows will not be put in within the northbound lane due to inadequate sight distance when there are are autos within the opposing twin left-turn lanes. He additionally stated northbound left turns are run twice a cycle to handle heavy left-turn motion.
