Scott,

I am trying to remember that intersection. But what did it say when you got to Columbia Road and Harvard Street a block later. That intersection is really screwed up!

Hi Group:
I really promise to actually contribute to this list once I learn how to use
this thing. <grin>

Last night while in a cab, I got the following intersection announcement
which I don't understand. It went something like this:
"North on 16th Street, 100 feet ahead, Euclid Street on left and behind and
right."
My cab driver, whose first language was not English, could not explain the
intersection. I assume that Euclid Street was not a straight through cross
street. Otherwise the message would have said: "... Euclid Street left and
right". Is it possible that Euclid Street was offset, meaning that one side
intersected 16th from the left in front of the car, while the other half of
Euclid Street intersected from the right behind the car? We were  going
around 30 MPH and I had the multiple announcement mode on for intersections
at a 12 second default interval. Does all of this make any sense to anyone?

Thanks.

Scott
