Why is this story here?
ContainedA genuine decision to modify traffic control at one intersection. Reversible without significant cost if conditions change; affects only this location. Bounded scope meets the real-but-contained test: 'something happens, but bounded.'Touches a narrow groupSafety improvement at a specific intersection affects residents and drivers who use that location, but only a narrow geographic area. The effect is real but not felt city-wide or by a large recognizable group in an ordinary week. Narrow geographic footprint places this at indirect-or-narrow rather than direct-and-real.
