Driving around the square: City Council might pass a law . . . PERSONAL COMMENTARY - 1) A change in driver behavior 2) Consideration of a new City Ordinance on use of cell phones By Joyce Coomer The courthouse has been in that location for more than 200 years. The additions have been there since the 1970's or so. (Need to check date on that.) I was taught there was only ONE lane of traffic around the square, not two as some people think and that lane is wide to allow for tractor-trailers. I don't know what the current problem is with yield signs as they've been in those locations for years but I have a sneaking suspicion is is a very common problem -- drivers utilizing mobile communication devices and drivers unaccustomed to the traffic patterns in Columbia trying to rely on a GPS unit for directions instead of paying attention to their driving. How about the city council passing a "no electronic communication device, no GPS use inside the city limits" regulation, with the exception of emergency personnel -- only while on an emergency run of some sort, I might add. I know this would infringe on some people's addiction to cell phones but as Columbia isn't the size of New York City, that infringement wouldn't last very long. Joyce M.
