The cul-de-sacs favoured by suburban planners are especially annoying. As my local example, the nearest grocery store is 3/4 of a mile away by what should be a direct route, but to drive there it is just under 2 miles. i often wonder how much crucial time is lost to emergency services (police & fire) due to the circuitous navigation forced upon them by bad suburban planning.mike w.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10317710564489321690noreply@blogger.com
