The net effect of the bump outs combined with the synchronized signals downtown will be that traffic will flow at at least the same rate through town. You live in a tourist town with significant pedestrian flow through town and need to realize that safety for them is paramount, as well as reducing the number of accidents for motorists parking, buses trying to reenter the roadway and for through traffic just trying to safety get through town on the only route available. It's a balancing act which we feel has been best achieved with this road design.
