Bad driving habit
I live very near the St. James gate. Yesterday around noon, it took me 12 minutes to get to Sea Breeze, which is about a half mile away.
The main problem was the traffic coming down St. Charles heading to the St. James gate. The cars were backed up from the gate down St. Charles so far I could not see the end of the lineup.
The main reason for the back up was due to almost every car stopping before the arm at the gate to let the golf carts pass through. This caused a huge backup in traffic. I spoke to a police man recently and he explained that is exactly why we should NOT stop and wave the golf carts through........simply because it messes up the traffic flow and everything gets backed up. While talking to my friends at cards, some of them said they thought it was rude not to let the golf carts in, but had never thought of what a problem it causes.
I hope that some of you will read this and quit waving golf carts to go ahead of you at the gate so we can eliminate this problem.
My rant for the day is finished! lol
