You forgot "Telling people to "get a life, why are you in such a hurry?" on TOTV"... :icon_wink:

Be thankful. The light has only been there about 5 years. We had to cross
without one for many years.

I just had to wait for eight minutes to head eastbound at the Cart path at Eisenhower Rec Center. Why, because seven of those minutes a single turtle wanted to turn right (north) to the rec center and created the backup because traffic was heavy. Solution .... Please- please- please speed up, so that traffic continuing east can pass. It is very frustrating to wait when a turtle can simply speed up and avoid the situation.

I also suggest that turtles learn to fly so that the traffic jam doesn't occur.

:ho:

Turn lane
 

If a turn lane was installed for the carts going into Publix that would solve it.

Back to the original O.P.---you should have lived here before that light went in....it was a bit like that ALL the time back then.

I think people (especially the ones who are seasonal or rent) get really nervous driving here and it shows. LOTS of bad judgement calls. I wonder how many had driver's instruction back in the day. Our school system had a classroom (all year) first then in the summers it was behind the wheel to get comfortable on the roads and streets before getting their license. I see folks ALL the time who don't do the simple things---we all know them---like their blinkers and observing signs....then add all the other dumb things.

:what:

A lot of people don't understand basic traffic laws. To turn left, car or cart, you pull into the intersection, wheels straight, and, then turn when the coast is clear!

If you had been living here before the light was installed, you'd still be sitting there!:1rotfl::1rotfl:

One could also argue that you should not enter an intersection until you can proceed. If that rule is followed then it doesn't matter whether the left-turning cart is behind the line or has moved forward, your lane is still blocked so you should not proceed into the intersection.

I suspect the law doesn't provide for the cart that is second in line to change lanes and chart its own course around any obstacles in its way. The second in line should move straight through the intersection when it is clear which it would not be if the cart ahead was still waiting to turn.

NOTE: I'm not arguing against reality. I'm not arguing that the left-turning cart shouldn't move up so that carts can go around; I realize this is going to happen and I will be doing it myself. I just pointing out that using "the law says" as a mantra can sometimes lead to unexpected and undesirable situations.

Why the rudeness? Get some sleep, take a walk, beat some newspapers. The Constructive comments are much better received.

To avoid being rear ended don’t follow so close.

You are wasting your time by complaining on TOTV. The only way to fix the problem is to have someone there telling them to pull up. A sign may help, but not fix.

"If you were going to be sick you should have planned ahead and turned your assignment in early."

Don't complain that the airlines canceled your flight, you should have allowed enough time to get there.

Don't complain that I95 was a parking lot for 19 hours, you should have allowed enough time to get there.

Don't complain that the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was closed two hours for an overturned semi, you should have allowed enough time to get there.

Don't complain that two left-turning carts held up traffic for three cycles of the traffic light, you should have allowed enough time to get there.

Apples and oranges.:duck:

I was thinking more cilantro and coriander.
