Laclede's Cobblestone Streets

There's a study going on involving the cobblestone streets on Laclede's Landing.
The problem isn't the cobblestones - it's what's underneath - the rock & the sand shift constantly as people walk over them and tractor trailers drive over them.
Some parts of the cobblestone are just down-right dangerous - and expensive to repair.
Do you think the cobblestone streets should be saved no matter what the price is?
Or would it be better just to pave over them?

The debate continues Thursday morning on Fox 2 News in the Morning. Last week, we had attorney Chet Pleban on to discuss his lawsuit - which includes the city of Arnold.
Pleban says the cameras are unconstitutional--
What do you think?

They've finished the huge, new Olive intersection. But, have you travelled west on Olive and gotten on 170 North at that interchange at the University City/Olivette border?
We're hearing it's kind of scary & intimidating to merge onto northbound 170.

When you're out on the road - what aggravates you the most?
With the Highway 40 shutdown - Is there a traffic signal on a side road that's not working right? Do you have a question about why certain parking lanes are not opened to traffic?
Let us know! We want to hear any questions you have about the Highway 40 closure - and we'll try to track down the answer for you.
We'll feature your question on Fox 2 News in the Morning.
Road Rage & Really Bad Driving

Is it just me or is there more and more road rage these days?
I've seen people get flipped off - cut off - and honked at so much lately in the Clayton/Brentwood & Richmond Heights area-- On top of that, people are doing some crazy things - like blocking oncoming traffic to make an illegal u-turn!
The intersection at Dale/Eager/Hanley has got to be the worst intersection in St. Louis. Drivers are always blocking that intersection! What do you think?
Are you seeing more road rage - and have you driven through that intersection lately??
Speed Traps Everywhere!

It seems like no matter where you turn - there's a speed trap somewhere in the St. Louis area. Now, if you're speeding - you're speeding. But some people say they're getting tickets in some municipalities for going just one mile over the speed limit!
Are there places you automatically hit the brakes when you enter it because of the speed trap reputation? I noticed the other day - as I was driving into St. George for the first time *ever* - people actually started hitting their brakes as they entered that town.
What are your thoughts? Please let us know!
Somebody's Watching You..

Somebody's watching you -- at more than a dozen intersections within the St. Louis city limits. Red light cameras are up all over town - St. Louis has issued thousands of tickets in just four months! What do you think of red light cameras? Do you think they make you more safe on the roads? Or are they just a cash cow for the cities that have them?
Biggest 40 Traffic Jams

Once Highway 40 is shut down on January 2nd, where do you think the biggest traffic jams will be?
St. Louis County transportation officials fear everyone will detour the 40 construction by taking 270 south to I-44 to Elm -- creating a parking lot on I-44 near Webster Groves.
On Friday, November 3rd - we'll be talking 'live' with St Louis County's Chief Operating Officer at 7:15am do you have a question as to how this is going to work?
Let us know - we may ask your question for you!!
Timing The Merge

Are you causing the traffic jam?
With so many lane closures everywhere these days - are *you* the problem?
Ideally, people should merge as soon as they realize there's a lane closure up ahead - and there's an open spot. That keeps traffic moving.
People who race to the front of the line - and then try to cut in - *are* a part of the problem, says one MODOT traffic engineer. Some call them cheaters! What do you think?
On top of that, don't you hate it when you let someone in front of you - and they don't even wave a "thank you?"
Construction Zone Slow Down

The Missouri Highway Patrol is cracking down on speeders in construction zones and the fines have been increased for those who are caught.
What more can the Highway Patrol and MoDOT do to keep you from speeding through these areas?
