Am I confusing everyone?
Yes, because I am trying to figure out how ppl off of Airport View are going to get to that intersection.

There will be a new road off of Airport View that will take them to where the new Smartronix building is being built and they will come out to the intersection that way. It is across 235 from Clarks Landing. So if you were coming off of Clarks Landing and sitting at the intersection to get on 235, you would go straight through the intersection and get on the new road and it will lead you to Airport View.

I've noticed that a lot of people seem to think that when their view of the road is blocked, it means there is nothing there to see so they just pull out.
Had it happen to me the other day at Wally Mart. 2 lanes coming in, right one turning behind Checkers and the left one going straight. Lady waiting to turn toward 235, can not see any cars going straight because her view is blocked by the cars in the right lane, she ASSUMES they're all turning and pulls out.
I was in the left lane going straight, she looked very surprised when I slammed on the brakes, blew the horn and hit my high beams.
People were driving crazy today.....it's like they never saw rain before, and kept slamming on brakes.

stupidity on some of the drivers that pull out unnecessarily when traffic is approaching at speed and then expect oncoming cars to come to a halt because someone wants to slow poke across.

selfishness, on those who can let up off the gas a tad(or move over, if possible) and cut someone a break.

I'm just trying to figure out where you'd be coming out of Airport View. I haven't driven all the way in the back for awhile.

Nothing. The road is flat and straight.

Okay - I'm done writing on this. If you travel 235 and pass the Clarks Landing intersection everyday then you know where I am talking about and can see where the road is being cut in.

If you still don't understand, then you must not travel this area every day and when it's finished, then you will see and maybe understand.

Have a good day!!!
