Don't Cross Me

So the only thing stopping traffic in the Southeast this week is ice storms -- real and imagined -- but NC State University has produced some research about a way to keep traffic moving even when the ice is off the streets. Superstreets are a way to  eliminate traffic lights -- and almost all left turns -- from major streets. On superstreets, drivers on the main street often have a dedicated left-turn lane, but they never have to wait for a light -- just a break in oncoming traffic, because traffic on cross streets doesn't cross the superstreet.
