A few years ago, the major road outside my university was dug up, widened, and given a median strip with lovely palm trees and red brick sidewalks. Then two months later the improvement dug up to make way for the tunnel and airport expansion. <BR/><BR/>It is to laugh.Mme Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270050276741592376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1160377397695346952006-10-09T11:03:00.000+04:002006-10-09T11:03:00.000+04:00I swear the road planners must be stoners.

They come up with ideas the same way.<BR/><BR/>Trams aren't something you cut and paste onto the existing roads - you need to erect the towers that supply them with juice, as well as depots for them to go at the end of their shift. <BR/><BR/>I can personally vouch for the fact that trams are terrifying, whether in a car or on foot. At least once a month here in Melbourne someone gets ground underneath. <BR/><BR/>Don't forget, the municipality will be supplying the drivers. Now imagine your typical boy racer bus driver, transplanted something three times heavier with half the control.marwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10304774218048387311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1160373008661043272006-10-09T09:50:00.000+04:002006-10-09T09:50:00.000+04:00The 'Good Drivers of Dubai' should be easily able ...The '<I>Good Drivers of Dubai</I>' should be easily able to cope.

Track laying for trams is really restricted to digging through about one foot, and laying a steel structure under that. Making sure that the tram can only be entered from the right will help lessen deaths, reinforcing the left front and back with a steel structure will also help it to at least ensure the only deaths are the stupid drivers.Emiratihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01462585396693212163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1160323115626496372006-10-08T19:58:00.000+04:002006-10-08T19:58:00.000+04:00Balushi, it wasn't me!
