Leave Common Sense out of it. It happens on a regular basis. The entire operation is far from clearly marked. I don't struggle but many others do. I have called in the specific Stop signs and OneWay Arrows that are missing. Even took the time to put it in writing and bring it to the Office in LSL. This was about 3 months ago. I know they are busy but come on!

When going around that particular spot in the Golf Cart when I get to the middle position I make no eye contact with the cars that are passing thru as their favor of letting me go could cause me harm. I also park in the middle so no other cart can park beside me, thats a new one, happened twice this week while going to the Santa Baraba Doctors offices. That is a very very dangerous area. It's amazing how many people don't use their BLINKERS.
My turn signal on my golf cart beeps to let me know it's on, which is awesome. But it's SOOOOO loud, it sounds like the back-up beepers. So if I'm turning I use it so everyone knows I'm going to turn - but if I'm turning from an actual "turn lane" I don't use it. The fact that I'm in that lane should be sufficient warning that I'm planning on turning. Sitting at a traffic light with that thing beeping into my brain is tolerable once per trip. I can't handle more than that!

Other than that kind of situation, I use my turn signal. And of course I remember to turn it off after I turn because of that dag-blasted beep pestering me til I do!
