Mequon Clog: The Blog of the Clog!

I would like just to report a few of the near accidents I have witnessed while driving on Mequon Road the 15-20 minutes it takes just to travel a few miles. I can only imagine how many near accidents happen every day. And now they have bright lights shining in your eyes while you drive. Unbelievable! Numerous times I have seen cars stranded in the middle of the intersection of Port and Mequon. With the increased size of the intersection and the timing of the lights the driver is pinned in by cars turning left from both directions and when the light does turn green the driver has no where to go. Numerous times because of no stop signs, no arrows, no full barriers, I have seen cars go the wrong way, cars fall into holes, cars stop in the line of cross traffic, cars jump curbs, and cars just stopped in the middle of the madness because they just can’t figure out were it is safe to go. Not to mention the numerous times I have encountered a wheel loader or a bobcat trying to play chicken with me and heading right for me while I am traveling down Mequon road. Where is the flag person stopping traffic and keeping the job site safe? I remember, she is at the other end of the job site moving pipe. Wow, I could go on and on, but what is the use other than getting my frustration out on paper, can we really change anything?
