Great, so the oblivious people who now drive 33mph in the left lane of this 35mph zone will now feel free to drive 31mph in the new single lane.

These same oblivious people will not know how to use the "center turn lane" and will slow down to 12mph in the dead center of the reconfigured single lane when making a left turn.

These same oblivious people will not notice the line of 12 cars behind them, lined up, going less than the posted speed limit, all of whom are frustrated as all get-out because they can't get to work.

Call me a psychic, but this is what will happen.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
