Instructed or not, that probably wouldn't help!

I wish those round-abouts could be removed. The only thing they do is cause problems, but the the farther they build the more they put in.

Shouldn't the Canadians learn to properly identify bacon before worrying about that left/right business?

We are? I don't remember that. Actually, there are a lot of people driving through TV who are not residents. Training for those living here might help but if you someone can't understand the big arrows painted in the roads I'm not sure any training would help. The roundabouts do a good job of keeping traffic moving but way too many people are clueless as to how to navigate them. This goes for residents, visitors and contractors. I've even seen TV buses in the wrong lane. Go figure.

Then again, maybe the Morse Blvd person was just a confused old tipsy local!

how true this comment is, the two words are clueless and even more important is the word "just don't care "..... I have made a point of watching the round-a-bout near glenview. I know it a fact that less than 25% of the drivers use their turn signals. When these drivers are in the round-a-bout other drivers have no idea what these people's intentions are. But as i said so many times, these least used electronic device in the villages is the turn signal. They never wear out !!!!!

And what would you put in the place of the roundabouts? Stop signs?

Driving west on Morse Blvd this week and saw a rather large automobile driving east on the golf cart path! Luckily a police car stopped the car and rerouted it back to the roadway!!! Expect anything and everything!!!

Hi geri317,

Just curious, do you know how the officer stopped a car on the rec trail. Did the policeman get out of their car and run over to the wayward car/driver?


I think it is great they stopped the car but am curious why they chose to do that.

It has been discussed on TOTV many times about law enforcement not having jurisdiction on private TV rec trails, and that is the reason no citations are issued to cart drivers exceeding 19.9 mph on TV rec trails.

Regards,
Don

Actually, the police are authorized jurisdiction on the MM trails for reckless and dangerous situations.

The police car was up over the curb, on land right beside golf cart lane, parked in front of the car that was driving on the path. He had his police lights going which is what caught my eye while driving by.
