Rensselear County

55 mph, 45 mph alternates every other mile. So many small hamlets and speed traps. 846,257,759 driveways with every other one somebody is making a left turn. Why does everyone in a BMW want to turn left on the dirt track to a cow pastures? Then you reach Troy, har-har-har. 2 miles but 638 traffic lights controlled by a single giant three towed sloth for the whole city, and he likes to leave them red when he goes on bathroom breaks and when he’s cooking yet another hot pocket in the kitchen. Then you realize the last time Hoosick Street was paved, Dewitt Clinton was governor. Eventually after about five hours you reach 787. It truly is that awful! I’m sure there are many fine folks in Troy, but Hoosick Street is the worse, moreover all of NY 7 is just a line of cars, bumper to bumper just waiting for the guy ahead of them to turn left should that occasion come when there is a break in traffic.
