I see people coming out of that tunnel expecting to take a left, and sometimes they don't stop right away. It scares the bejeezus out of me when I'm coming from Sumter to Odell at that spot, I always worry they'll just keep going and I'll ram right into them. *I* should have a stop sign there. And so should people coming FROM the Mallory parking lot area on Odell, who are on the golf cart path heading north or heading through that same tunnel to go to the other side of it.
Because it's a 3-way stop in a sort of "Y" shape - I think it should work somewhat more like a roundabout. If you're taking a RIGHT at the intersection, no matter where you're coming from - you can go. If you're taking a LEFT at the intersection, no matter where you're coming from, you must stop and yield to whoever is taking a right. Since - there is technically no "straight" - the road curves at that spot, with the tunnel exit in the middle of the curve.

Yep, that's the place. And sorry, but I don't see any problem there, other than the problem that exists at every tunnel exit----people don't stop at the stop line and stick their nose out too far or give the appearance that they are not stopping at all. But that's a driver problem, not a MMP problem.
