Considering how tourists frequently enjoy using statuary for “photo-ops”, think about this. Mom and Pop are encouraging Junior to sit atop the cute “horsie”, or maybe on a cowboy’s knee, or perhaps between the span of an Eagle’s wings . . . in the center of two lanes of circular traffic? Oh, let the games begin. Maybe another sign might be considered directing traffic to the library or uptown to take advantage of “photo-ops” with Sedona Schnebly or the Joe Beeler statue? At least two other sensible options are already in place. But what the heck. “Sensible” is the operative word and what has that had to do with most past decisions made in Sedona?

Absolutely right on, Eddie! On a recent walk, it was difficult not to become a traffic flow instructor! One out of every 5 cars approaching the roundabouts blended and navigated the circle as intended. To that one out of five, you are Highway Gods or Goddesses. To the other four of you, park it in a garage because YIELD does not mean Stop-Look-Count to Five and Inch Forward! Roundabout rules do not include Stop-Watch-Pull forward-Stop Again-Now Go-Not Yet. AND TO THE GREATEST IDIOT DRIVERS OF ALL….WHY ARE YOU STOPPING WHILE DRIVING IN THE ROUNDABOUT SO THAT OTHER CARS MAY ENTER?? And the City wants to add Artwork??? One out of five drivers will take it in stride, but the other four will surely incite Roundabout Road Rage. At most, let’s fund two small signs that rotate 360 degrees and stake one in the middle of each roundabout. Award an artist a pack of stencils and a box of colored markers to decorate each sign with “Keep Moving, Morons. You have TWO LANES and WHERE in the hell do you see a STOP sign?”
