There is no way those numbers can be correct.

I realize that in reality there is not a vehicle passing EVERY 6 Seconds. The "calculation" was intended to make a point. There are a lot of cars traveling that road. In practice there are "blocks" of traffic which do allow for left turns, but things do get hairy at times, especially during the Winter Season. As for the 466 southbound crossover; that's where someone will eventually get hit by a car coming out of the "starting gates".
There is nothing that I can think as an easy fix for LOTS of new people driving around in rental cars and trying to read a map during January, February and March.

I doubt when The Morses planned that part of Morse they never DREAMED we would be this big.

I wish the cart paths were separate from that major road and try my best to be very careful when I am driving both my car and cart in that area.
