It will get MUCH worse before it gets ANY better.


The effects of the highway 40 project will get much worse before they get any better. We're already seeing some of the problems as of today. Clayton Road, which for many folks in St. Louis including me, is the central corridor for many routes east-west has been re-striped to remove the shoulders and add a center turn (suicide) lane. This has also had the affect of putting any cyclist precariously close to all of the mailboxes along the side of the road. Some of this insanity reminds me of the photo of the stop sign.
I'm curious what impacts this will have on cyclists. Let's all pray no one gets hurt or worse, killed as a result of this.
