[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 248532, member: 428"] Maybe there’s still that spare in the dodge. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I might have actually figured out the answer to this one. The newer the development, the smaller the lots and the closer the houses are to each other, not to mention the increasing number of culdesacs, roundabouts, and intentional curving and turning of streets to prevent speeding in residential areas.
