Default Re: Danger in the traffic circles!

Sounds good Jan but it don't and won't work in The Villages. ;D
One, The roundabouts are not big enough.
Two.If you turn on your turn signal to exit at the first exit in the circle the person coming into the circle form the same one that you are exiting will pull out into the outside lane and that poor guy in the inside lane will never be able to get into the outside lane for his exit.

A lot of Villagers tend to ignore signals and when they see you signal they just speed up to fill the gap. >

A Sumter County Deputy Sheriff came to one of our meetings a few months ago and tried to explain how the Roundabouts are supposed to work. The Daily Sun and all Villages organizations need to start educating people a little better on how to navigate the Roundabouts.
