Does the traffic report for all the other cones

[ialwayscomewhenyoucall]

An Unexpected Ache

And now for a look at traffic.

On Route 800

just before exit 71

a sense of deep

foreboding

seeps from the road

and into the hearts

of drivers and passengers alike.

“Why are we here?”

a woman asks her wife.

“Where are we going?

Did your brother

plant green beans this year?”

Her wife doesn’t know

and the not knowing is a bird

fluttering

in her stomach.

A yellow helicopter passes overhead

weaving between

lavender ribbons of rain.

The rain sings

a counterpoint

to helicopter blades—

a shushing song

that should ease the mounting

disquiet

in the cars below

but instead builds

and builds

to a fevered pitch.

Soon the people sing along

a wave of discordant discontent

that sweeps cars

and passengers alike

along a newly formed river of

anxious anticipation.

A teenage boy shouts.

“Stop!

Can’t you see

this is what the rain

wants?”

But no one hears

over the rising song

and he stands alone

on the shoulder

pleading with hands

and eyes

and cracking voice.

when the sky clears

and the sun shines again

on wet pavement

he gets in his car

and drives home to

wonder

what it’s all about.

This has been...

traffic.

BALITANG LOKAL: Unexpected Counterflow Traffic prompts 'No Left Turn' experiment in Dumaguete City [#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE]

DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- In recent weeks, local commuters and residents of Dumaguete City have been grappling with an unprecedented surge in traffic, particularly around the bustling intersection of Veterans Avenue and Rovira Road near Saint Paul University (SPU). Since November 6th, 2023 on Monday morning (Dumaguete local time), the city has witnessed a consistent gridlock, prompting intervention from the Traffic Management Office (TMO).

In an exclusive radio interview on DWFH-FM 97.7mhz K5 News FM: Dumaguete (formerly Radyo Bandera: Sweet FM network) as TMO Chief Traffic Officer named Gilbert E. Ablong Sr. addressed this month-long issue, emphasizing the severity of the traffic congestion during the upcoming holiday season by December 2023. Commuters heading both North and South were facing challenges navigating the intersection, leading to an escalation of the problem.

To tackle this issue head-on, the local Traffic Management Office (TMO) has decided to implement an experimental "No Left Turn" policy at the Veterans Avenue and Rovira Road intersection. The decision was influenced by the heavy traffic flow, and the experiment is set to commence starting Monday from 6:30am on November 27th, 2023.

During a flexible schedule, student participants from Saint Paul University (SPU) - Dumaguete will experience the "No Left Turn" policy during peak commuting hours, specifically from 6:30am to 8:30am, 11:30am to 1pm, and 4pm to 7pm on regular school days. Outside the academic schedule, commuters using routes such as Sibulan to Bantayan, Bantayan to Qualfon, Qualfon to Pulantubig, and Pulantubig to Sibulan town are advised to plan their trips meticulously, adhering to the newly implemented traffic policy.

The decision to enforce a "No Left Turn" policy reflects the city's commitment to finding a sustainable solution to its traffic woes. In a series of Facebook posts and videos circulating widely (whose owned by Meta Platforms Inc.) and initially reported from Headz Up! NegOr News with CNN Philippines' Negros Oriental correspondent (Roy August Bustillo), concerned citizens documented the traffic chaos, drawing attention to the urgent need for intervention.

Mr. Ablong, in the said radio interview, stressed the importance of public cooperation for the success of the experiment. The goal is to create a safer and more efficient traffic system in Dumaguete City, providing relief to both local residents and the countless students navigating the area daily.

As the experiment unfolds, the local Traffic Management Office will be closely monitoring the situation through the effectiveness of the "No Left Turn" policy. The success of this initiative hinges on the collective efforts of the community, fostering a sense of responsibility and discipline among residents of The City of Gentle People.

i dont understand how people call you "basically a cop" when the most power you have is to tell someone to leave.... like?? you cant arrest people you cant detain them the most you can do is call the actual cops which...... literally ANYONE can do that like????

p much. Usually don't have to tho, people usually listen when you're calm and respectful- more than half the time I'm on the phone it's for an ambulance

People aren't kidding when they say it's basically babysitting

For anyone wondering: we never did find the seed for the Limited Life server. But we're all a bit insane, so with a bit of time and dedication, and the combined efforts of Pixie, Lyric, and team member Lavi, we managed to recreate a large portion of the map almost block-for-block. It made for one heck of a finale closer, and we had a blast putting this together!

...we almost might just be insane enough to try and expand this project out to the other known areas of the map, just for fun...but that's a project for another day. :3

Time elapsed while working on this: over 24 hours in total

Day 51 - Jet-Star and the Kobra Kid / Traffic Report

[tango-but-everywhere]

They’ve (Cleo and BigB) got the strangest dynamic. Love it when people can hold a grudge. And Tango’s also there, as witness,

Cleo, secret life episode 5.

[ID: a minecraft screenshot taken on secret life, at the heart foundation at night. BigB is very close to the viewer, Cleo. He’s crouching and looking up at them, wearing full diamond, holding a diamond sword and shield. There’s a dog to the left looking at him. In the background behind them, on the left is Skizz who’s walking away. He’s similarly wearing full diamond and holding a shield, as is Tango who is slightly closer on the right of BigB. Like BigB, he’s holding a diamond sword, and he’s facing Cleo but looking to the left of the image. End ID]

Welcome to the traffic report!

You know what I would love? Summaries of Traffic Life SMP sessions from multiple POVs! Ideally there would be some time stamps, so I (@blocksruinedme) could get clips for my many projects!

Would you like to help? Excellent! Just get me text, baby. Make a tumblr post and tell me! Or write up a google doc and send me a link, or whatever!

I've made a google form and that's absolutely my preference, as I'll be able to sort by session and CCs such. If (and only if) you upload a file I'll see your google name, I put an example at the bottom of the form.

BONUS: I want to make some "Learn the Alphabet With" videos, like this

It would be rad to do a video for session one of the new season, and I would love help, especially for Q, U, X and Z. Leave a reply, send an ask, send a dm, or just use the session reports form!

I am very very open to feedback on how best to do this, please don't hesitate to make suggestions! I am incredibly sleep deprived (new baby!) and my brain ain't going at top speed.

Jimmy Stream Report: Who he'd most like to reteam with in traffic life

It's the Bad Boys! Obvs no commitment but hope springs eternal! (something like 20ish minutes into the current stream, after he gets some iron)

it's not like other people don't reteam.... get martyn this time (grian and jimmy have crocs too!) and then be hilariously (purposefully) unaware of martyn plotting against them

i think that would be very funny and someone should make a comic!
