    - I think the author used the 'dartboard' methodology in his calculations -- nm - decline Jan 24, 13:23
    - Yeah, Indy got an F as well. But when I saw the ONLY A was in DC I realized the list is bogus. Plus, we have an international airport that they seemed to have missed. -- nm* - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 24, 13:22 1

    - "Leonia road restrictions don't impact neighboring Englewood drivers, so this headline is obsolete" -- nm - Max Jan 24, 13:01 5
      - but that's just one of the surrounding townships. I'm sure there are other locals who travel through that town all the time -- nm - decline Jan 24, 13:08

        Which they still have to stop to do... -- nm - Ender Jan 24, 13:08
    - Sure. - znufrii Jan 24, 12:59

      - that was just one example; and the store, as with most liquor stores here, sell beyond booze. other businesses, most of them small, have seen losses. - b. Jan 24, 13:10 2
        
        Dealing with seasonal tourist traffic is a completely different animal than inflicting rush hour on neighborhoods not designed for pass-through commuters. -- nm* - znufrii Jan 24, 13:18 1
        
        ..and I just found the window where I mentioned it's not just weekends, there have also been complaints about commute traffic there and elsewhere in -- (edited) - b. Jan 24, 13:28
  - Toll them (say, for people without a tag, or transponder), don't fine people who want to use a *public road.* -- nm* - Andie Jan 24, 12:48
  - And if I were the town next to them, I'd put up a toll booth and start charging them $250 to enter my town. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 24, 12:45 1
    - Or they could just stay on the highway that’s designed to handle that traffic. - znufrii Jan 24, 12:52
