Valley westbound - this worked for me, although the sensor location is not visible, and I had to guess its location. Bellevue uses a cross symbol on the pavement and Seattle occasionally uses a 'T' symbol; something similar would be very useful. ] ****************************[16 Feb 2008 16:30:47 EST] Report edited/modified by: Rebecca Slivka [1]******************[16 Feb 2008 17:57:05 EST] Report edited/modified by: Rebecca Slivka [1]
