Default Big accident. 466 & morse

2-8-2014. 12:47 coming home from movie. Big accident at Morse and 466. All south bound traffic heading south are forced to turn west. Avoid area if you can. Heading east on 466 totally stopped and backed up. We are heading to buena vista to go home and so is everyone else

Drive safely please!!!!!

I was there and saw a couple of people being taken away on gurneys to waiting ambulances. Nothing looked to serious but you never know.

Second accident this week. Lots of people running red lights.

It pays to be especially careful due to the increased traffic volume and people rushing around, to fit everything into one day.

I personally notice very heavy traffic on 441, and several cars, who jumped the red light. It wasn't even close. Some people think a yellow light, means to speed up. OY VEY!!!!

Please drive defensively!!!!

Saw it the other day crossing 466 on Morse. People don't want to wait for another red light cycle so they rush through. I know what you're all thinking "slow down, we're retired, what's the rush"; however folks that come for the season aren't necessarily adapted to a slower pace and those of us that are, are probably getting frustrated with the traffic. So be careful 'cause there is no where we need to be that is worth going to the hospital for.

And that is probably what'll happen on Colony blvd at the cart crossing!

Have twice in the past two weeks seen people who are in the straight lane go (straight) when the green arrow turns for the turn lane to their left. They then almost hit those making a left going the other direction.

Funny but the carts scare me more than cars. Live and let live.
