Here in T.V., especially when you get to be the size our community is and with ALL the folks from the surrounding area driving our streets--one needs to be vigilant when out and about. I see people buzzing through the yield signs all the time at the circles, people sometimes NOT even slowing down at the stop signs and blowing through. I would say that nearly all the accidents that happen h ere because of not paying attention and not abiding by the law.
So true. I was on 466A this morning around 10:30, going west, and there was a woman in the westbound lanes going east. It looked like she came out of the Colony shopping center and didn't realize the road is divided.
