Some people need to be respectful drivers

[hooknline]

Coming up the road from Ridge at the Pax Gate stop light the other day. the traffic is backed up with the people trying to enter pax base from left turning lane stopped in Northbound lane at change of light and completley blocking Northbound traffic who would like to use RT 235 pass the base as well as those employees. If you see the traffic backed up at gate, please don't turn into intersection when your left lane turning arrow becomes green. Not everyone works at pax river base and we have schedules to keep also. Thanks

Not that I don't agree that many drivers are jackasses, but...

Since you know going that way is going to be crappy at that time of the day, maybe you should anticipate the jackasses and leave earlier, so you can stay on schedule? Just saying

maybe he should complain about the right turn on red drivers who block the southbound traffic from turning left.

FWIW, if they don't go when the arrow is green, when do you suggest they turn. Their window to turn is limited and they either take the chance traffic will move or they will be stuck there through an endless number of lights.

I suggest you take your complaint to the base commander. Maybe he can make the lane longer so they have room to turn in (not that the northbound traffic or the GMR traffic won't fill in those spots...)

Hey Dipsh!t, if you see the intersection is being blocked at the change of light, try waiting for next light. as for the base commander, I don't know the S.O.B Share the road you moron. (this is being as gentle and sweet as I can be slick)

I don't use gate 2 dip####, but the moron county commish think it's great that it's the "MAIN" gate for PAX. Please tell those trying to turn left how many lights they should wait because I'll guaruntee you there will never be room on the other side as long as they wait. They have no control over how fast the traffic will clear security, it could be seconds or there could be some moron who made a wrong turn and has to be turned around.

Use the suggestion above, take an alternate route - avoid the area intead of adding to the congestion.

Hell, thats easy, WHEN THE FAR SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION IS FREAKIN CLEAR!!!!!!!.

Ah, that felt good. I know those people coming from the south who use the straight lane to then turn right into the other lanes than the one they are supposed to are in the wrong, but nobody is going to stop them.

Two wrongs dont make a right.

Oh, and we beat the crud out of this a few months back......

If there is no room for you on the other side

.

point being those lanes at rush hour will never be clear. Which is why it annoys me at gate 1 when people making a left will stop to let a right turner into the stream - their ack of consideration has now hung another car out on 235 who thought traffic was moving.

[thurley42]

being a South of Base to Gate 3 traveler myself, what really grinds my gears is when 235 N&S lights are green...no turn light...and people turning left will come across and cut me off as I turn right onto Hermanville(or whatever it's called going to base)

[Randi63]

This happens to me every morning. Why arent there any police around when we need them. they would give out so many tickets for running the red light. UGH

Prior to all the contruction on both gates, Gate 1 used to be the 24 hour gate. Wonder why they haven't gone back to that since the construction is done?
