Turning onto 4 lane roads can be an issue depending where and what the 4 lane roads are.

For example the intersection of Bailey Trail (CR 472) and Hwy 301 used to be open to a left turn. It is no longer. They have put up flex poles to dis-allow a left turn being made at that location......55 mph speed limit......super busy almost anytime.....significant number of accidents....acknlowedged by the powers that be to put in a traffic light....who in response are currently enamoured with putting in a traffic circle the. Fodder for another thread.

Yes the 4 lane left turn is going to be a challenge for the many seniors who already have a problem negiating safe out and returns on two lane roads.

I go out of my way to work around any 4 lane left turns in or around TV. Too many dynamics for the aging driver population.

In my humble opinion.
