Are you sure? I always thought that it was allowed to pull into a center lane to merge. It feels safer because it's a wide turn and I like to give my mirror a second check to make sure the right lane is still clear.

Thank you as always for the map and thoughtful analysis!

We have plenty of bread, eggs, and milk, and I bought beer Thursday night, so this might be on me. You're welcome, neighbors!

(Power's been fine so far, but we're on a main road.)

They are crashes not accidents, accidents imply that it's a one off, traffic engineering is just some civil engineering with some extra training videos and the profession as a whole has passed the liability of their poor design almost exclusively to drivers, no to say drivers aren't partly to blame. But road design is inherently unsafe in America, we should be designing to prevent bad behavior and not to tolerate it. But this means people would feel inconvenience or have to slow down, reduce lane sizes or cut down on road expansion and amount of lanes, remove turn lanes, maybe even induce some traffic and we can't have that..

Quite a few years back I used Wunderground as my go to. Then everything went, well, clunky. Their forecasts were not just off, but WAY off.

I said to myself "How are they as bad as Weather channel now?"

I then looked at Weather Channel and compared forecasts for a few days. The exact same wildly inaccurate forecasts! WTF?

The answer was simple: IBM bought Wunderground. IBM also owns, you guessed it, Weather Channel!

I now use Accuweather, which isn't nearly as good as what WU used to be, but is way ahead of what WU and WC is.

No doubt he amount of traffic on 4 has to have at least doubled in the past 5 years from Concord to the coast. Saw one on the Northwood/Nottingham line at Cooper Hill rd today. That being said 90% of these accidents are driver error. Seems everyone has forgotten your not supposed to cross a solid line regardless of color, the exception being the left turn center lanes, which is a concept that still continues to baffle people. Example 1... If you're taking a left, this lane is for you, but NOT for a an entire ¼ mile, only just before the entrance you plan to take.

Example 2- same scenario. If the vehicle in front of you is taking a RIGHT, that previously mentioned left hand turn lane is NOT your 'go around' lane. Thats how head on collisions happen Dum-Dum.

Example 3- said lane is NOT made for your staging/launch speed zone during heavy traffic. Wait your turn like the rest of us Genius.

Also, please re-learn the right of way rules of the road, they are there for a reason. Waving someone out into traffic before your turn may seem to cover your daily 'good deed' , but its only going to get that person into heaven quicker, not you. ...Fuck me.

Also when looking the property tax codes here change by town. The town im living in has what's called a "view tax" on top of the property tax; as opposed to the town i work in where the property taxes are cheaper and no "view tax".

I would chat with Eccard Farms in Washington, NH; Kearsarge Food Hub in Bradford, NH; and Bardo Farms in Croydon, NH. Different styles of doing farming in my surrounding areas as well as 3 of the larger farms in my area.
