Ways to fix LA #1

Fixing the traffic jams here poses a seemingly difficult challenge. However, in true Stupie fashion I have devised a number of ideas that may help things some. They will be dispensed in intervals so as not to boggle your mind too much at once. Enjoy!

Solution 1:

Let's import a couple hundred cab drivers from New York and Chicago. They will not only benefit our fair metropolis by adding more options for comuters, but they will serve as great role models for this detrimentally laid back environment.

People here are so sun-drenched stupid they seem to forget where they are going while they are going there. This of course excludes the folks that are so sped up they believe their Audi's can really fly. The result of a few Kama-Cabbies on the road would serve to remind them the long peddal is for go. It would also serve us well by putting the propper fear of car back in the pedestrians.

They have cart blanche here. They are permitted to cross a street everywhere there is a corner. On top of this, they put in crosswalks in the middle of blocks, not nearly as big as those found in our cab training grounds. People here casually strole into traffic without even a glance up. They also indicate no hurry to get across said streets. Now I am not saying RUN, but a little kick to the step is a nice courtesy. A few weeks of being mowed down standing to close to the street will get these people walking with pupose again!

So, there is the fisrt plan to cure my town clotted arteries. Bring on the cabs that know what it's like to catch air when the rider says, "step on it."

The traffic in Cali drives me insane, and yeah, people from LA almost get killed in Chicago where the drivers are far less patient. Hi Troy!
