Indicative of No U Turn

I tried to warn new home buyers. For example, I posted this in 2020.

"I think the very biggest problem with Chitty Chatty is when you leave and try to turn left on route 468.

We drive to the Southern several times a week and we see cars and trucks having a hard time turning left out of Chitty Chatty."

So if it’s difficult to make a left now, won’t it be more difficult to make a U turn in the future when traffic flow increases?

There is less traffic now and it’s a fairly long wait when we leave Chitty Chatty to go back towards Sawgrass. What makes you think a left handed U turn will be any easier with the introduction of more traffic?

Yes, it will get harder. There needs to be a traffic light to help drivers get in and out of Chitty Chatty and Sandalwood.

Making a left now requires crossing traffic moving both directions. Making a u-turn only requires merging with traffic in one direction with gaps created by the red lights at 44 and Walmart.

I hate traffic lights more than most and even I have to agree, either a traffic light or round-about are the only answers that make sense. So glad we didn't buy in CC and extremely sorry for those who did.

When the homes were being built in Chitty Chatty, we went there to walk around. The walking trail around the lake was very nice and the multi-modal path was not being used because there was no golf cart bridge over route 44 and there was no bridge connecting to Bradford.

It should have been obvious to everyone that it would be terrible to leave Chitty Chatty and pull out onto Morse Road.
