And why not? I think roundabouts are great. They keep traffic moving and you don't have traffic lights.

Vistors do not know how to navigate them. Some people making left turns from the right lane. Problem seems worse since the begining of Dec.

This is one spot where a round-about would have made a lot of sense. Also it needs a tunnel for the golf carts. The stoplight doesn't seem to make traffic go smoothly. I wonder why they didn't build a round about there since there are so many elswhere?

Anybody got any ideas?

I wonder if they made this a light instead of a roundabout so they would have an easier way to control traffic for Polo Field events, i.e., stop traffic on BV let the Polo field exit, etc.

I have no information on this, but felt like guessing as I await the fog to lift.

Did we always have to go behind the gate at the north Talley Ridge intersection and BV? My wife says yes and I sheepishly said we used to be able to go straight across like the south end.....

If I remember correctly, we use to travel straight across Tally at the north end.
