That is not even the worst traffic faux pas around here.

The downtown area is set up with one way streets that used to make it easy to get to and from the downtown area, with freeway exits and entrances on the main streets going to and fro. The people who bought houses in those areas got tired of all the traffic, something that made their homes significantly less expensive, and started complaining about it. They built "traffic calming" measures, which included blocking off the main roads in and out of the downtown area and large, poorly marked, cement traffic islands. It used to be very convenient to go down there and spend money. Now, not so much, with the expected devastating effect on businesses there.
