Out Doing Fun Things

Springfield has some of the neatest things. Newly added to that list is a diverging diamond that is supposed to reduce traffic congestion, but it may just confuse drivers in the Ozarks. This traffic wonder is located at Hwy 13 north and I-44. Jennifer suggested we drive the new diamond. All went well on the way north, but the traffic lights were not working and the diamond quickly became a bottle neck. Using stop and go moves we passed through the diamond and headed north. Traffic on that side was backed up for miles. I am guessing these folks were ready to hurt someone. We took another route home. We've been told that this is the first diverging diamond in the U.S. We have our doubts about how well it will catch on. Always good to do something new.
