I must admit... I was incorrect in my previous statement. There are, in fact, 2 yield signs there now.
I stand corrected!
Law-enforcement are really active this morning!

Glad you checked for yourself and yes, there are a pair - one on each side of the road as they normally are when there is an island. Glad you can admit when you are w-w-w-w-rong.I must admit... I was incorrect in my previous statement. There are, in fact, 2 yield signs there now.

You're gonna hear about it now.This is untrue as there is a yield sign there and has been there for quite some time. Most people ignore it because their head is swiveled to look at traffic coming down 235 or just flat out ignore it. I saw it last Thursday and again on Sunday.
This is a screenshot I just took from Google Maps and I circled it in yellow so you can't miss it this time.

I know... right! It's like a milestone post around here

Probably before your time, but I was referencing The Fonz from Happy Days, who couldn't say the word.I think people choose to ignore it and consider it a "merge". I've seen all sizes and shapes of vehicles just fly around that corner into the "merge" lane. Which is in fact marked RIGHT TURN ONLY, or MUST TURN RIGHT. Anyone trying to get off 235, into WaWa has to be really careful they don't get wacked in the arse
1. Actually I believe there are those who either don't think or think their safety is somebody else's responsibility. Fortunately for them, the majority fall under items 2 and 3.
The problems occur when two fools who don't adhere to #1 meet on the road, then rules 2 and 3 kick in, and you see who cares more.
I don't necessarily agree with "hive" mentality, or locking onto the break lights of the vehicle in front of you. But people who think "brake checking" is a cool way to annoy the person behind you are priming the pump for a problem. You don't want to desensitize the person behind you to those red lights less then think its just one more brake riding fool in front of them. BTW, that's something I think happens and is freaking annoying.
How does one accelerate a vehicle with the brakes on? Answer, they have their left foot on the brake pedal, just maybe resting it there.
I agree. I have also been honked at because I did yield and not just pull out willy-nilly and almost cause an accident for those trying to get in the turn lane for WaWa.
I had a Naval Officer get out of his pickup and come up to my window to scream at me because I wouldn't just pull out at First Colony.
I'm not going to race down the turn lane if I don't see a place to merge into the traffic.
Of course I showed him the respect he deserved - I gave him my middle finger salute and told him to go enjoy sexual relations with himself.
He's the type that would have driven down to Walmart in the right turn lane, passing vehicles until he had to pull onto the road.

I agree. But maybe my use of the "hive mind" analogy should be more along the lines of; a unique consciousness where all drivers, at anyone time, say, on the beltway, are inputting everything seen in somewhat of a subconscious state, changing lanes, slowing down and speeding up, keeping pace, looking for their exit, while safely getting to their destinations, all the while taking into account that all other, 'normal' drivers are doing the exact same thing, and with that knowledge, can somewhat subconsciously anticipate what other driver might do and react to what they see. That's what makes driving an interesting compendium. Except for the asshats that just cant seem to 'go with the flow' and to save 3 minutes zig-zag and fly past the normal drivers.

Times like that you just hope it's an admiral in the car they are pissed off at.
They can tell by the plates, nobody O-6 or above has Maryland tags.
