You're assuming, Slainte39, that people should KNOW not to even turn IN at that intersection because it's the end of a one way street going north. They don't. Same with the next intersection beside iShop, they shouldn't be going out onto the highway because it's a one way going south. Cripes, people are accidents waiting to happen because they don't follow the rules of the road here or understand which way you can drive on a lateral. I see it daily and wonder where the traffic cops are. They could make a fortune at those two intersections alone.

The 12,000 BTU A/C units require 10A service (15A breaker) at 110V. That means running 12 gauge (thick ~ 'calibre doce'~ ) cable for 110V units ...or 14 ga. cable (thin) for 220V. Bigger air conditioners like 18,000 BTU draw 18A - 20A at 110V, (30A - 40A breaker), which would mean running (expensive) very heavy 8 gauge wire ... versus only needing 12 ga for 220V @ 10A for the same 18,000 BTU clima. It's just not practical to build 18,000 BTU 110V A/C units, because it takes really heavy wire to carry the 20A current at just 110V.
