Contact your county public works department.

There is hope. After years of nothing done and then a terrible fix the Rainey Trail (472) and 301 intersection is finally getting a stoplight.

Too funny, GE!

After reading the OP, I was wondering where Morris Blvd. is.

villagetinker 11-04-2021 11:30 AM

OP, contact Sumter County about the intersection and the need for a traffic light, and do not hold your breath.

Papa_lecki 11-04-2021 11:40 AM

At Chitty Chatty Run, Morse is County RTT 468.
As usual, VT is spot on. Contact the county.

vintageogauge 11-04-2021 04:07 PM

Warm springs and 301 is no picnic and will be much worse when Hammock at Fenney is complete as well as the new industrial parks and family housing going up on 301. I think Megisson is going to be getting very busy as the go to north/south route to take

rjd111 11-04-2021 04:26 PM

I meant Morse Blvd Sorry

Maybe after there are enough accidents at that intersection, they will put in a traffic light.

When Chitty Chatty was being built, we used to go there, park our car, and walk around. The walking trail around the lake was very nice and it is always fun to go thru new homes under construction.

To be honest, I'm surprised anyone ever bought a home there because it was obvious that it would be very difficult to turn left onto Morse Road / Route 468. And it will get much worse as more homes are built south of Route 44.

I think so, Ecuadog.

While I was put off at first while reading OP's post, when he mentioned being blind in one eye, I figured he was probably doing talk-to-text. "They" really haven't perfected talk-to-text yet. Plus I think you have to "talk" the punctuation into it. I think that after hearing my friend doing this while talking-to-text her daughter on her cell phone.
I received a talked text from a neighbor this morning. It started, "Hi, Ryan here..." His name is Mike!

Not necessarily. My wife is blind in her left eye and has no trouble making left turns, nor typing on her computer or I phone.

Sorry to be the voice of reason here but…… If you can’t see there you can’t see in other places too so maybe you should not be driving at all. When you bought the house in Chitty Chatty the intersection was exactly the same. Choices

If you are confused, the OP is referring to the intersection where Chitty Chatty Run on one side and the driveway to Sandalwood Condominiums on the other side enter Morse. This is quite a ways south of 44 and just before the traffic circle and the high speed turn onto Warm Springs Avenue. I’m usually on that section of Morse four times a week. It is four lane, 45 mph, and has excellent visibility with wide margins. Morse in that area has traffic circles, not signals, so it is unlikely that a signal will be installed there. What is more, as there is a traffic circle not far away, it seems unlikely that another one will be added, but it’s possible if you ask. But not a light. However, in my experience, there is hardly any traffic on that road most of the time. It’s a very easy left turn. Try driving up Morse and crossing 466. On Morse between 466 and Rio Grande, left turns from Morse or onto Morse sometimes require a bit of a wait before there is a break in traffic and fast reflexes when there is. Much heavier traffic there with no roundabouts or turn lanes.

Villages Kahuna 11-05-2021 05:57 AM

It gets worse in high season.

HoosierPa 11-05-2021 05:58 AM

Try exiting Continental turning left or Bradford. Same thing. It’s not just Chitty Chatty

NotGolfer 11-05-2021 06:08 AM

Or...even in the "old" section and not just the new areas. We've noticed that people who live off from North Morse have long waits to turn out of their neighborhoods. North Morse during "high season" can be daunting and don't get me started on the round-about just before 441/27. I still see drivers who don't know how to navigate the circles there and surprised there aren't even more pile-ups. Then add the golf-cart drivers. People need to go back and review their "driver's education" lessons---that is "IF" they ever had them. Maybe take the course again just as a refresher.

crash 11-05-2021 06:41 AM

Not sure if the number of legally bind drivers that can’t turn left will justify a signal no problem turning there for me.

Spelling, punctuation and terminology matter. I’m not sure this person lives in The Villages.

Not according to posts #8,15, and 20 :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: , no idea what language is being suggested/supported by those posts. But one of the original questions was to whom to issue a complaint. I resisted the temptation to suggest their elementary school English teacher:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Maybe stick to the medical advice?

And then again, probably not. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Besides, the hot medical topic is COVID, and I've tried to put the facts out there until I got finger cramps. Unfortunately, everyone appears to have made up "their own mind" based on "their own research" (GL with that), and they are so intransigent that there's no point in repeating the truth over and over.

No not belittling, just a public school education.

Good for your wife. My mother was blind in one eye from age three, and the minute we kids got our drivers licenses, we refused to ride anywhere with her. No depth perception.:eek::eek:

NoMoSno 11-05-2021 08:13 AM

I am also blind in one eye.
No problems driving or with depth perception.
There are millions of one-eyed drivers.

Everyone is an individual, my wife just happens to have compensated well (also legally blind in L eye since childhood). I have no problem letting her drive

Well, I think some people judge levity/humor/sarcasm based on their own degree of "wokeness" Personally, I consider the only acceptable level of "wokeness" to be quite a bit less than zero.
Really, God forbid you offend anybody for any reason regardless of what you see. Illegal aliens are just that, NOT "UNDOCUMENTED". The bullpen is where relief pitchers warm up NOT "THE ARM BARN". Something that is grammatically gibberish should be pointed out. And why do universities need "free speech zones" in a country founded on free speech? Yet there are people, even on this site, that defend this type of nonsense.
For my part, if I post something in gibberish, or something completely factually off base, please call me out on it, I won't consider it a "joke at my expense":1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: (But you better be correct, since you know what they say about payback:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:)

It’s belittling. Giving it another name doesn’t change the fact.
