Hamptons

Music To East End Drivers' Ears

Kirk Cassels

How many times have you been stuck in East End gridlock and asked yourself (or screamed aloud even) how much longer you'll have to sit in this #$%* traffic? More times than there are grains of sand at Cooper's would be our assumption. Although we don't have any news that will alleviate your current traffic tension, we did read some promising news for next summer: Southampton Town is making moves to develop its first-ever Highway Advisory Radio Network. Should these plans meet successfull completion by then, there will be three channels into which you can tune for traffic reports that will aid your decision in switching from main arteries to the back roads, or vice versa. You'll know when to turn the dial with a little help from road signs that will flash alerts at appropriate times. In addition to the plan for a permanent, second eastbound lane on County Road 39 (slated to open Memorial Day 2008), the radio network is another step toward removing the sole, universally-hated aspect of the Hamptons.

That's a lot of cars!
