Two puzzles for you …
Puzzle #1: The bus in front of me has a sticker on the back that announces that he would stop on all railroad-crossings. And sure enough he does stop when we come to one of the few railroad crossings in Santa Fe (I think there’s a total of five in the whole town). However when we approach the next intersection the bus driver speeds up and crosses the light when it’s solidly red. I’m not talking about dark-yellow or orange, I’m talking about RED. Why does he stop at a railroad-crossing 30 secs before running a red light?
Puzzle #2: On my way to picking up Pia I notice a Sheriff on the side of the road ticketing another driver. Why the heck do we have police AND sheriffs running around here? Is one used for tasks the other one can’t perform?
The Sheriff has responsibility for the entire County. The City police are city-only. State Troopers are largely state highways only. Their responsibilities all overlap.
Thanks Garret for the explanation.
