AGREE 100% Signal Needed!!
 
As a Chitty Chatty resident I agree wholeheartedly with the OP. There’s going to be a serious if not fatal accident at our entrance if something isn’t done.
45 MPH speed limit on S. Morse is a joke.

No.

No. I don't mock or belittle. I do, however, have the ability to laugh AT myself and to laugh WITH others who are able and willing to laugh at themselves.
Mocking, belittling comes from meanness. I am not inherently mean, I would never knock your ice cream cone out of your hand. But, if a seagull swooped down and stole it from you, I would laugh, hysterically. I would then offer to buy you another.

What do “wokeness” and Illegal aliens have to do with mocking another person’s post for your own amusement?

Sorry, I guess you'll have to try harder.

Am I being dismissed or do you need more time?

Obviously we all knew what the writer was asking. They are obviously new to the community; where is your tolerance and compassion?

The answer was given, contact the appropriate county. US 301 is a US highway and signal lights and any changes need state and federal approval. I think the process must start at the local level, the city or county.

Hmmm.

Once had a comedian explanation of humor that went something like this.
All jokes, things folks find funny have to have a butt to the joke, be it a person, animal, place or thing.
Example of person might be a "blond" joke or child putting their spaghetti bowl on their head.
Example of animal might be dog butt scooting.
Always a butt or focus point for humor. The supposed injury is not serious or fatal.
"Man falls three floors, hits sidewalk, bounces once and lands on feet then walks casually away" - funny.
"Man falls three floors, splat, dead" - not funny.

Now, OP, pointed out that traffic signal is needed. Good, but serious and not funny. OP's post, for whatever reason had errors of various kinds. No one hurt as a result of post that many of others here found some humor in. No real or lasting harm intended or done.

To OP, thanks for bringing attention to a traffic problem. Also, I hope you were not offended by the fun some of us enjoyed as a result of minor errors we had some fun with.

What else can we have fun with. Oh, if anyone sees me fall flat on my ass, please finish laughing be for asking if I'm ok.

Just go around the next roundabout and come back. Much safer.

Illegal aliens are just that, illegal, and by their very presence in our country they have committed a felony against the citizens of the United States. The woke culture and the PC police has renamed these criminals "undocumented", which is terrible euphemism for their crime.

I was not "mocking" the OP, in fact I sympathize with his lack of vision in his left eye for reasons I've already stated. I was making a humorous comment about the words that were put in the post. Yet several people got their undies in a bunch over a little joke as if I told them their mother wore army boots. It was not "cruel" to the OP, it was a joke, , and in my opinion, one needs to have a "wokeness" level of 7 or higher to feel offended by it.

Codswallop.

It is not a joke to us.

We drive down to the Southern Area several times a week to enjoy the amenities down there and we never exceed the 45 mph speed limit.

By the way, the new walking trail at Hawkins is beautiful, even better than the trail at Hogeye.

Fully agree. It is so irritating trying to sort out some of the gibberish that lands on this and other social media sites, and double that irritation for the factual errors. A thoughtful proof read of what has been written before hitting the "submit reply" button goes a long way.
