The race is on
So here’s the claim, made on the Butler County Transportation Improvement District’s Web site: some people think it’s faster to take Ohio 4 through Hamilton than Bypass 4 around it, as the bypass has become congested with stop lights and has stayed two lanes nearly throughout.
So here’s the plan, Hamilton city reporter Josh Rinaldi and I are taking it to the streets. On Monday, we will start at one confluence of Ohio 4 and Bypass 4, during rush hour, and meet at the other end, following all traffic laws along the way. Since Rinaldi is the city reporter and I’m the county reporter, he’s taking the old road and I’m taking the new road (the Bypass).
Who do you think will win the day, and how much should we wager on it?

if the race is north-ward (i.e. from Fairfield to Hamilton) in the afternoon, then the old road way will probably win. But if it is south-ward in the afternoon, then there’s not much traffic in that direction on the bypass, and that route will probably win. Reverse the logic if it is happening in the morning. The loser should be forced to explain the concept of a “Superstreet” to a group of people until they all understand.
