" we need a good mass transit system or we will strangle in our own traffic." - Mass transit in this sparsely populated island with mostly single family homes and most houses rarely over two storey and spread far apart with bus stop extremely inconvenient to access and infrequent - does nothing to reduce congestion. For most commute by personal vehicle - not by mass transit...  . . . . . "Seven Traffic Signals in Two Minutes" in Topeka, Kansas demonstrates exactly what this island has been missing,  For modern technology specially designed to reduce congestion has been employed by many cities in the mainland to reduce congestion on city streets.  Plus -everyone who drives knows how in intersections with heavy traffic in this island all have to wait one to three minutes for vehicles to make a left turn before one can proceed. But In Utah, in some intersections vehicles make a left turn simultaneously with vehicles moving forward.  No more Green Arrow at the center of an intersection.
