I bet it's in every theater around here. 
And having so many roads rules, we can get anywhere a million different ways. 
And here's a confusing definition for ya.
We have so many roads, we HAVE to have a bunch of toll ones, or else our state would go bankrupt from repairs.Bandalero wrote:if y'all had your head on straight you would be bad ass like Texas with no toll booths. (well, beltway 8 is a toll road, and i think there's a few more, but dammit it's not as severe as jersey)
And having so many roads rules, we can get anywhere a million different ways. OK, this is a really bad diagram, but it's the best I can do:Bandalero wrote:what the hell is a jug handle?

In other words... you go right to go left.Jughandle Intersection
The jughandle intersection configuration is a design that also incorporates separate turning roadways similar to the quadrant intersection. The principle of the jughandle design is to remove all turning traffic (including right turns) from the main intersection by shifting them from the major street approaches and onto an adjacent ramp as shown in Figure 19. Like the quadrant intersection, the turning maneuvers would be completed at an intersection created between the ramp and the minor highway then proceed through the main intersection. Unlike the quadrant design, however, separate ramp roadways are used for the two major street approaches and (if acceptably low volumes are present) left turns from the minor street would be permitted on to the major roadway.

and only an aggie would design something like that. you poor jersians.
also, you senator didn't take my letter to him, so if you want you can send it to him. because i'll be godamn if i allow my senator to block such legislation and get away with it.

You talk confusingly nikki. My head hurts trying to understand this jug handle thing. I'm so glad I live in Canada where you turn right to go right and left to go left and the roads are nice and straight forward without all those stupid toll things, jeez.

Jughandles make a lot of sense. Cause less accidents at congested intersections, cos there's nobody trying to turn left.
And, Reno:
And, Reno:
New Jersey has more lane miles of highway per square mile than any other state except Rhode Island. (NJ has 10.5 and RI has 12.2, vs. a national average of 2.3). Each lane mile of road in New Jersey can expect to host 2.6 million cars each year, compared to a national average of 1.5 million.

I want to see this movie, but talk about your uninformative trailers. The entire thing is him and Portman galloping around, and then he goes swimming or something.
But when I actually read a little plot description thingy, it sounded very good.

whats the ratio of road workers to actual road in NJ?nikki4982 wrote:Jughandles make a lot of sense. Cause less accidents at congested intersections, cos there's nobody trying to turn left.

how much tax dollars go to every mile of road?
you do realize that there are few highways that actually span the width of Texas, where as i'm sure we have county roads that could span NJ. so clearly these small states only need to have minimal highways to span their girths.
TxDOT maintains more than 79,000 miles of farm-to-market, ranch-to-market, state, U.S. and interstate highways. That's more roadway than any other state.
There are approximately 25,678,000 square feet of signs and 45,552 reference markers along Texas roadways.

Yes, but those roads don't get as much traffic, I'm sure. Meaning less maintenance.
Posted: 8/12/2004, 10:50 pm
..and to think that this thread used to be about a movie
Posted: 8/12/2004, 11:06 pm
i must find how much traffic goes on Texas highways. i'm almost sure it's easily over 2.6 million.
i could easily pick fun and NJ's governor right now, but then i look at Rick Perry and realize i'd get my ass handed to me.

Texas roads don't have all the traffic going between Washington DC, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and New York City. I'm sure we have way more cars on our roads more frequently than you do.
And there's nothing wrong with our governor... I personally don't think he should resign... but I guess he doesn't want that sexual harrassment suit out in the open. Poor guy.

we have 18 wheelers comming and going into mexico from canada, the us, and mexico itself. ft. hood sent all of it's humvees and trucks to corpus christi to send to iraq. we are the 2nd largest populated state so clearly we should have more people on the roads. some of you new yorkers don't have cars! we have these bunch of idiots running around with immaculate trucks because they do not understand that a truck is not a vehicle but a tool. tractors, we got some of those suckers on the roads. when's the last time you saw a plowed field in Jersey?
yeah, he's fucked. (no pun intended) kind of like kobe comming out and saying yes, i had sex with this chick, and it was ok, not great, but not bad. but i didn't rape her.

Texas roads could not be anywhere close to New Jersey. New Jersey has the worst roadways ever designed ever. It's bumper to bumper at NASCAR race speeds on any major highway. Plus with the stupid roads you can't make left turns on, tolls, and construction, its hell to drive on. Sorry Reno, Texas roads can not, and will not ever be worse than New Jersey. Ever.
Posted: 8/13/2004, 11:32 pm
i won't complain about the roads here in Texas, especially after the trip i took to wyomming. but it's sad that they make you pay so much money for the tolls and yet the roads are still crap.
Posted: 8/14/2004, 2:06 am
Reno... everything you said about your Texas roads are the same about ours here in Jersey. Tractor trailors, more than half the people driving SUVs and trucks they don't need, and, yes, we have plenty of plowed fields here... we're the Garden State, remember? *points at movie title*
And, Matt, it's only bumper to bumper at Nascar speeds when you're tailgating which is illegal. You need to learn to back off of the cars in front of you. Scared all of us half to death!

Nikki: did you send my letter to your senator?
