If I didn't know better, I would assume that most autos and golf carts are not equipped with turn signals, and I don't think most drivers have a left arm missing, or the effort requires too much strength. On the positive, for many. the turn signals will be the last part of their car to wear out. I ride a bike several days each week and it is so frustrating to approach an intersection an the same time as a auto and not have a clue what that driver intends to do. Jusy today I stopped my bike and did a mioni survey at the Morse/441 circle, of the 27 autos I was able to view as they exited, only 11 signaled their intention. Some of the drivers actually exited from the inside circle lane to the outside lane on Morse cutting off those autos only making a 1/4 circle to their exit. Scary to watch such poor drivers this when they do this.

They had just that type of accident in a circle at Stillwater and Morse today about 1:00 PM. Sherif there waving his hands showing the proper way to go through the circle and turn. I could tell from his sign language the proper way to navigate the round about. Expensive lesson for one of them.
