I think for your safety and the turtle's safety, next time stop your in the actual lane and put on your flashers. Then you can get out and move freely without fear of some idiot running you over. Also by making them come to a complete stop for more than a split second, they'll see what is transpiring and shouldn't have a problem waiting 20 seconds while you clear the roadway. I've left my car in the resident lane and walked over to the other lane and hit the red button for drivers that had already moved up too far or didn't know to hit the red button or for whatever and had no problems at the St. Charles Gate when this occurred.
