It must be equally frustrating for the construction crews. Could you imagine what it must be like for them trying to get to work in this place. Most of the crew is probably in their 20's and 30's. Driving in TV is no picnic.

Contact community watch and ask for the cops to be notified about speeders again. Every time someone calls they come out for short periods. And yes I've done it too. Hoping once construction is done on this end they start coming in the other gate. Man when we were buying...anything backing to Pinelles was a no go because of that road noise. As for the gate..if you can get the company or find out where they're working you can file a complaint against the workers or company. Probably not worth the time and effort but it might make you feel better for the day

They spoke to the women at the gate house. The pole went up for me first and I started thru the gate and their gate went up and then they cut me off almost pushing me over to the side. I had to stop and I put my horn on and they all turned around and laughed about it. I know they saw me enter the road ....Most of the time our construction workers are respectful and polite but this has happend to me twice now... What do you all think ???

Awwww , to be young be young and stupid again. Hopefully they will grow up; but don't count on it.

Perhaps they have places to go and times to be there...most Villagers don't. Give 'em a break!!

Perhaps the posse could get a handle on these drivers operating not only willy, but nilly too!!

Willy Nilly must be an important person to have people driving him through the circles!

Just smile and wave and let them go through. Makes them think you're plotting something.

I agree with you that driving in NYC is a challenge but so are the other cities I mentioned. NY is a big city with lots of people crammed into one tiny island called Manhattan and everybody trying to go everywhere so it can be difficult and frustrating for drivers but in general it's not worse than driving anywhere else. You just have to be careful and watch out for the other guy.
