Highway planners decided to make a main street in West Lafayette, Indiana, a one-way street. The Lafayette Journal and Courier took a one-day poll by inviting readers to call a telephone number to record their comments. The next day, the paper reported: "Journal and Courier readers overwhelmingly prefer two-way traffic flow in West Lafayette's Village area to one-way streets. By nearly a 7-1 margin, callers to the newspaper's Express Yourself opinion line on Wednesday complained about the one-way streets that have been in place since May. Of the 98 comments received, all but 14 said no to one-way."
