Another Day … Another Carmageddon

It sounds like this morning that the traffic light on Highway 224 at Ute Boulevard (by the McDonalds) isn’t working. This is causing traffic to backup onto I-80:

A couple of weeks ago there was a wreck at the Canyons intersection that caused huge delays on 224.

The more these things happen, the more it seems we just have a very fragile system. If one of a million different things happen on 224, 248, or downtown, there are huge impacts.

In technology, the answer to a fragile system is redundancy. No one problem should take you down.

I’m not sure how we get that redundancy in our transportation system.
