ACCIDENTS KEEP PILING UP

I don't understand the mindset of people willing to waste more time and add more danger when a simple right, left and back out solves the problem. Your current attitude is where we need more people to be at.

There are intersections where I simply will not enter from a certain direction at certain times of the day. Anyone thinking that coming south on Indian Bridge between 3 and 5 on a work day is the best path isn't thinking. The Gate 3 intersection has gotten better now that they forbid lefts against straight traffic, I but I still wont go east west straight through. Risk of a red light runner going 60 plus is still too high. I wont take Hermanville expecting to take a left on 5 in the afternoons.

I almost got hit in Callaway. Yahoo's cannot time making a left going south.

Up north they divide the road in situations like that so one can only make a right.

No, it is definitely a lot of that. I struggle all the time with people going when they shouldn't or not going when they should. The exit from Weis and exit/entrance from HQ doesn't line up nicely, you can't tell when someone is going straight across into HQ or turning left, and there's also the turn lane in the middle of Rt 5 for both those entrances, and so many people swerve into it last second with no blinker. It's a cluster**** on a good day.

That makes it even more confusing. Suppose I want to make a right from Weiss and they want to make a left. I assume I go first since I'm closest to the turn but...as my BF said if it's another woman, you'll both assume you're right. Or sometimes oncoming traffic will stop and leave a hole if there's a red light up ahead. Who are they leaving the hole for me or the person opposite me?

You watch one day I'll come online and say that accident at Weiss was me.

Exactly why I avoid going out that Weis entrance. It's awful. (Also, section 8 is a very, very small percentage of who lives back there. Lots of my neighbors didn't even know it existed. Common misconception :smile: HQ is a nice hidden gem, though not sure for how much longer...)

Thats why I go out the back entrance onto 249 and hit the light. I hate second guessing what people are doing.

I was almost a statistic today. First in line at a light to turn left onto SB 235. My light turns green, but I'm jamming to Outkast and don't move immediately. A dump truck going NB on 235 comes screaming through the intersection. It happened so fast, I didn't register any description of the truck other than large and moving fast. That would have probably been the end of me had I jumped on it when the light changed.

Thats why its a good idea to wait a few seconds before accelerating when the light turns green.
