After moving into Edmond about a month ago, I have figured something out. It takes 20 minutes to get anywhere-- the traffic is horrible. But, it is not that there are too many people who live there or that the roads aren't big enough to handle the traffic. The problem is traffic lights. I get caught at virtually every single light (especially at major intersections) every time I go out. Edmond needs to invest in better timing of their traffic lights. A person should not travel down 2nd or Broadway and get stuck at every light. If the city would set just Broadway and 2nd streets for 40 mph or something, it would cut down on traffic tremendously.

A good (although maybe extreme) example on this is Lawton. Every light is set for 36 mph. You can start at any end of Lawton on any road and go 36 mph and you will NEVER have to stop at a traffic light. It makes travelling through very quick. Why can't Edmond try something like this?
