What I don't like about cities...

[sbisson]

I grew up on a small island, I now live in a big city.

Normally I like the city, it's busy, bustling, exciting. But there's one thing that I find increasingly annoying. No one takes turns. They rush off the tube, crushing into narrow doorways, something that would be made so much simpler if people just filtered in turn by turn. It's a logical and simple way of working that shows consideration for their fellow human beings, but they just focus on their destinations and tune out simple considerations that would actually make their journeys easier.

Perhaps it's just me...

Filter in Turn

[sbisson.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure. There's a concept back home of the "filter in turn" system, where two roads meet that allows a constant flow of traffic. It's a lovely idea, that works well, even at the end of The Dual Carriageway or even entering The Tunnel. But why doesn't anyone implement this system for motorway lane closures?

Mind you the Highways Agency is based in London...
