If they do they will see that Morse Blvd and Buena Vista both run north and south.......knowing that how will one get lost.
Bogie,

I agree. The key signs that I like are those that tell you north and south after you come thru a tunnel. Too much signage can be really confusing - and it requires upkeep.

A few tips for newbies:

1. Do the early morning exploring as a couple of posters recommended.

2. Ask to have someone from TOTV show you around - many are willing to help.

3. Buy the map - take a look at it before you head out.

4. As Russ says, stay out of roundabouts. (i.e. rotaries as we would say)

5. Ask for help when needed.



It looks far more complex than it is. You will get the hang of it in no time.
