You CAN Fight City Hall

In the matter of mom's ticket for improper lane usage, which she got while I was at girl's camp, I emailed our local council woman. I complained about the ticketing as an inappropriate way to deal with a traffic problem that is better resolved by striping the road so that there's a turn lane longer than 100 feet that can be legally accessed (the ticket was for improper lane usage - using the lane between the double yellow lines to get into the turn lane).

Tonight on my way home, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the lane has been restriped - in exactly the manner that I suggested would be appropriate.

Now all we need to see is what it will take to make the ticket go away.

FWIW: August Mileage: Sat & Sun to/from Church 3x & Relay for Life 35 mi; Mon Crew Meeting: 56 mi; Aug to date = 91.
