This morning, the cart behind us on "466" turned left on to "water tower" rather than going three quarters of the way round the traffic circle

Previously, we have witnessed carts coming along "water tower" and doing a sharp left towards the rec center

The signage is clear; you know what to do; and the amount of time you save is negligible.

Your short-cut may look clear to you, but have you really spotted all road users - walkers and cyclists, as well as other carts?

Thank you
TOTALLY!

I've seen it happen numerous times there and it MAYBE...saves two seconds.

I even once played 'chicken' with a dude coming west on the 466 MMP, who decided going around the circle...was just too much bother.

It was funny watching the shocked look on his face when I didn't move over (I was coming from along the fence line on Palmer) and he had to put his right side tires up over the curb...of the landscaped middle of the circle.
