Basically "straighten out the curve" of the traffic circle. These are community streets and roads, not race courses.
One incident I know, but we see idiots behind the wheel every time we go out. Can't wait for ai/robot chauffeur where every cyberdriver has the same safe view of every situation.
I see this all the time. People driving in the center (using both lanes) around the roundabout to "straighten " it. Very dangerous. I dont get the hurry. Meggison road over near Lake Okahumpka seems to be a fun "challenge " for many...they try to see how fast they can go around the curves. I've seen people go at least 70. Im a sure one day we will see someone lose control and land on the golfcart path. Never seen a cop on that road and I travel it everyday.
