And if it's someone like that I would be inclined to be more compassionate. It could be an old lady who has no other way to get her medicine or groceries. But most of the time it's not.

Maybe you need to brush up on your basic driving skills so merging into traffic won't be such a challenge!

And maybe you should realize if she doesn't drive with caution and has to slam on the brakes it could cause her to slide off the phone book and she won't be able to see over the steering wheel and then you'll be stuck behind her for hours waiting on them to clean up the accident mess... maybe that...

If it were intended to only be used by right turning drivers..it would start at the wawa entrance..and there would be a hovercraft waiting to take you into traffic. It is intended to allow safe merging into traffic. Which can easily and simply be done without waiting untill there are no cars in a ten mile radius and pissing off everyone behind you.

Exactly what they are for.

Is everyone out there in such a hurry that you can't wait two minutes (at the most, because the light will have changed by then) to get to where you need to go ALIVE???? I've been teaching my kids that I'd rather they wait a minute or two (or however long it takes) until they feel comfortable. I'd rather sit there for two minutes rather than be laid up in the hospital for two months or better yet, forever.

But not only do you have to wait for the people turning into Wawa, after that, I would estimate that at least half of the people turning from Northbound 235 do a ub and enter into the Wawa as well.

Safety makes sense. Take a pill and chill. Bring a book along next time if you can't give up four minutes of your life.
