If some of you believe that it is that much of a hazard you may want to call property management tell tem of the problem and ask that they road bumpers to slow down traffic such as they installed at Bridgeport at Sumter landing.
There is no mirror for those traveling east through that tunnel, but there is one for westbound traffic.

The speed bumps are worth thinking about. They would have to put them across both lanes approaching the tunnel from both SweetBay and Caroline and on the eastbound side in the tunnel as you exit. If they don't put one on both lanes, people will cut into the wrong lane to avoid them creating more danger. Just like they had to put rocks on the grass for the same reason at Bridgeport.
