Grape Road Gridlock

Christmas is 9 days away and the residents of Michiana are realizing that they need to do their holiday shopping. The Grape Road / Main Street corridor has reached gridlock. It's worse than a parking lot. Parking lots don't have a car directly in front of you and directly in back of you. At least you can move around in a parking lot. Parking lots have aisles you can move around. The intersection of Edison and Grape was particularly problematic. Cars heading east on Edison and turning north onto Grape would back up and cars would be left in the intersection while the light turned green for traffic on Edison heading west. It wasn't until the light turned red that the traffic on Grape would then move and then the cycle would repeat while traffic on Edison stood still. I should have known that it would be bad when traffic heading toward the mall was backed up to Capital Avenue and State Road 23. Somebody take my car keys away.
