"One of our criteria when buying a house is it* must have more than one way to get in and out. Had to deal with that situation in IL and hated it, will never do it again. It's something that most folks don't think about until they live in a place where they have one way out and it's a timed traffic light and they have to sit there for 3 minutes every time they want to turn left out of their addition/subdivision/neighborhood."

*I assume that when you say "it" you mean The Neighborhood rather than the house/domicile itself.

However . . . When it comes to Wileman 8 . . . It is within easy walking distance of what remains one of the best Malls in the Metro. =) Especially if They would build a little bridge across the waterway to facilitate pedestrian traffic from the north.

Please be assured that while all houses in that charming development have both front and back doors, the inconvenience of that one way in and out traffic light may be offset by the fact that it makes that particular neighborhood unattractive to burglars . . . ?

Oh! And if you are anticipating only a three minute delay at a light like that in OKC you are dreaming. =)

Yeah, it = neighborhood. We don't do malls much anymore, got out of that habit while living in IL, but that would be handy for someone that liked Penn Square. And I'm sure that light around Xmas-time would be a complete total nightmare, we don't want to live anywhere close to a mall like that, had enough of heavy traffic living in IL, don't wanna deal with it (traffic, not neighborhood :-P ) here.

Lights on the Distressway near Penn Square are a complete total nightmare even in July.

Truer words were never spoken . . .
Well . . . Not spoken, exactly . . .
But typed on a message board . . .

If you want to see a REAL total nightmare,
check out Hooterville Junction . . .
It's down the road a piece,
between Green Acres and Pixlie.

But don't do it while you are sleeping.
Otherwise you miss the real total part.
Of the nightmare.
