Where's all the northbound traffic coming from that's coming up this way? Do we have a line going through the bank lot?

00:12

If everybody's turning right, they're backed up down Main Street.

00:15

Just send them north.

00:21

Oh, I can't because I got a whole line of traffic coming out of Meijer.

00:28

You need somebody to help you down there with traffic?

00:38

A stop sign would be nice, I guess.

00:43

16 from one.

00:45

I got 13 headed your way with a stop sign.

00:48

I would just send everybody north.

00:50

And not into Meyer.

00:54

That's what I'm trying to do.

00:56

I've got a continuous line across Main Street and a continuous line coming out of Meijer lot that I have to alternate back and forth, and it backs up all the way.

Copy that, copy that.

01:11

Thirteen will help you with that over there.
