Just Jack Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Quote He blames a blinking yellow turn light for causing some of the problems. Sure, blame the light and not the kid driving too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The business owner said there's been 67 accidents at that intersection since he's been there. I looked up his business and he's been there for 20 years. That's a lot of accidents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up his business and he's been there for 20 years. That's a lot of accidents. There’s a pizza joint on a cute little square near us I like to hit for lunch. In nice weather I like to eat on the sidewalk of the corner location. The north/south street doesn’t line up quite right. When you cross the east/west street you have to jog over about 15 feet. They have dotted lane lines for the two lanes going north/south, but people tend to ignore them. There’s almost a 50% chance that I’ll hear at least one horn honk during my time there, and I’ve seen/heard at least a couple accidents. It is inherently dangerous, but I don’t know what more they could do. People need to pay attention! The good news is you are going slow and it’s just fender benders. Nobody is going to stand a car on end at this sleepy little intersection……unless you are a complete idiot…..like this kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 My dad retired to the Leesburg FL area. A lot of very nice retirement communities in that area, including The Villages. But Leesburg itself is an armpit of a town. But you can get some terrific Mexican food there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
