Traffic Pet Peeve
by Janelle Hamilton

I read the letter by Dayle Amundson which prompts me to share
my pet peeve about the traffic in Ketchikan. I have an aunt who
lives in the Marine View. When I want to visit her, to be courteous
to the drivers behind me, I make a left hand turn on Madison
or Washington Street to get to the Marine View. I know I do not
like to look up and see a car at the stop light with their left
blinker on trying to get up Jefferson Street during the rush
hour, go around!
I have lived in Ketchikan for
over seven years, I live on the north end of town and work on
the south end of town. As I put in the miles getting to work
and back each day, I pass a lot of cars over time. What I don't
understand is why some drivers ride practically on the yellow
line?? Hey folks, move over or you will see me in my red car
waving at you to move over. As I have been hit by two cars in
the past, believe me, I am riding more close to that white line
than the yellow line. Like I said, move over, try to stick to
your side of the road!
