Every once in a while, a driver heading south on Main Street — past Rye Ridge Deli on the right, and Brooks Corner on the left — will ignore the several large “One Way/Do Not Enter” signs.
And the oncoming traffic. And two rows of parked cars, one on either side of the street, all facing the same way.
It happens.
When it does, the wrong-way driver will get all embarrassed and shame-faced. Then, v-e-r-y s-lo-w-l-y, she (or he!) will slowly back up.
But not yesterday.
When surprised motorists and pedestrians informed this driver that he (or she!) was headed the wrong way, they* kept right on going.
And backed right into a vacant parking spot.
I have no idea what happened later. Did the driver leave the same way it came?
Or just keep going to the Post Road?
*It’s now proper usage.
