Worst Traffic Ever

I know it's not LBJ or even 820, but FM51 in Decatur is without a doubt the worst traffic in Wise County. I had the unfortunate pleasure of going to AutoZone in Decatur this afternoon. It took, and I'm not exaggerating, 5 minutes to get on the street from the AutoZone/Sonic driveway.

I don't know who timed those traffic lights, but he has a twisted sense of humor. Traffic backs up from the 51/287 intersection past Sonic/AutoZone. That light turns green and before the traffic can get moving a fresh crop of cars comes from the light at 51/Thompson.

W T F???

I'd lay odds that this little piece of highway design magic is the brainchild of the same TxDOT engineer that designed the U-Turn exit at 287/380 and proposed putting a stoplight at the bottom of the hill at 287/1810.

Why do I suspect he's secretly an agent of Site Concrete?
