Default Colony Blvd and traffic

I don't know if this has been a subject of discussion before or not...but here goes anyway. I went down to Colony Plaza this morning via golf cart and must say the traffic on Odell (sometimes O'Dell depending on the street sign) was appreciably less dense than a couple of weeks ago. That is, until I got down to the intersection where you either cross to go under the tunnel of 466A, turn left on the road to the plaza or right to go to Colony Rec Center. Golf carts were backed up as usual and traffic on the road was pretty busy. I'm wondering how the county (it isn't under the builder's jurisdiction) will address this matter. There will be a bank near this site and probably more commerce as we get larger. I do hope there won't be a terrible accident on this road!!!

Further down is the bank and Walgreens then the road that crosses this from 466A. I've seen cars/trucks blow that stop sign and also some near-miss's before. Than there's the parking lot with ALL the traffic there as well.

Please be vigilant folks, so you aren't a statistic!!!
