[QUOTE=Dr Winston O Boogie jr;1066732]I agree with much of this, but if you drive on that road you know that there no way that a car passes a given point every six seconds. Many times I go through those gates and don't see another car in either direction for a quarter of a mile.
There is no way those numbers can be correct.
I realize that in reality there is not a vehicle passing EVERY 6 Seconds. The "calculation" was intended to make a point. There are a lot of cars traveling that road. In practice there are "blocks" of traffic which do allow for left turns, but things do get hairy at times, especially during the Winter Season. As for the 466 southbound crossover; that's where someone will eventually get hit by a car coming out of the "starting gates".
