PSA: ONE WAY STREETS!

[bryghtrose.livejournal.com]

Hello, this is just a friendly reminder that one way streets only allow traffic to go in a single direction. Specifically, I am writing about Windom St., which borders Carberry's. It is a one way street that allows traffic to exit onto Elm St. This means that DRIVERS ON ELM STREET CANNOT TURN INTO WINDOM STREET IN ORDER TO GET THEIR COFFEE FROM CARBERRY'S. For the second day in a row I have had to swerve out of the way of oncoming traffic going the wrong way on this street. It's a fucking one way street people. If you're on Elm St. and want to go to Carberry's, either find parking on Elm St., or if you're desperate to park on Windom St., go up Elm to Russell, turn right onto Russell, and right again onto Summer St., and then turn right onto Windom St., where you will be obeying the one way sign.
A waning: I'll be taking down the license plate number of the next asshat who decides to go the wrong way up Windom St. You have been warned.

You should complain to either the police or whoever is in charge of traffic rule enforcement (not sure if that's a different department that you'd take this up with). It's a public safety issue, so they should be concerned. A few hours of having a cop stationed at the intersection ticketing people making illegal turns onto a one-way street should strongly discourage others from doing it.

You might also ask Carberry's to post a sign near their counter reminding their patrons to respect traffic laws. Generally, places like that really want to avoid having hassles with the locals (i.e. you) when it comes to problems created by their customers (always a good idea when licensing issues and whatnot comes up). Bringing it to their attention can help.
