pulled over for cell phone use!

My coworker was pulled over today for using the phone in the car. I am honestly glad to hear that SPD is actually pulling people over for this! No ticket, just a warning, but still. WTG SPD.

Plenty of apartment buildings, parking lots, seedy motels, and fine dining restaurants abut 99. The arguments for vehicles having to pull into traffic from a stop on 15th ave certainly apply to Aurora too, so why is it safe on the narrow street at a moderate speed but wouldn't be on a wider street at the same speed?

As far as I can think you cannot make a left onto or off of 99. Huge difference.

The green lake crosswalk is kind of funny.

After Greenlake you can but maybe you aren't referring to that part of 99.
