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.

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.
