Also, If you can't repair your brakes, just make your horn louder.

Hoping you live north of 466...

Is this profiling?

Only for DougBie and his traffic signal habits!

To clarify...

If Doug lives north of 466 and I live at 466A, I probably won't run into him (literally) at a red light...

This diagram of how to properly navigate round-a-bouts should be posted in the major rec centers, given out in the rental packages, in the new homeowner info, and at the new buyers social. The more people who are on the same page when driving in the round-a-bouts the fewer incidences there will hopefully be.

A good suggestion was posed to the POA in that roundabouts signs should reflect a North and South direction such as the signs for Buena Vista Blvd and Morse Blvd.

It's easy to get disorientated when first visiting TV.

Yes, I remember going the wrong way on Morse Blvd and choosing the "wrong" Odell Circle.

When approaching a roundabout with the intention of taking the third exit (i.e. a left turn), I put my left signal on. Once past the second exit, I switch to the right signal for the lane change and exiting the circle.

You probably only did that once. More signs just clutter the landscape.

[2BNTV]

I think an "N" and "S" on the exisiting signs would be sufficent to help people.

Obviously, one should know the roads somewhat before venturing out.

In The Villages, always assume that people who should stop, will not stop. A significant number will ignore stop signs, stop lights, gates that are down, other vehicles in the way, tress, barracades, and all manner of moveable and immoveable objects.

When going anywhere north of 466, I use my cart. When going anywhere south of 466, I use my car. No worries, I have a loud horn

I've noticed more drivers with the habit of driving straight through the roundabouts by entering in the right lane, drifting into the left lane in the roundabout, then drifting back into the right lane as they exit. The problem is they may not recognize there is another car or motorcycle to their left that has to brake hard to avoid them. Please stay in your lane.

That's true; they are trying to straighten out the road. It's dangerous.
