By the way did I mention that this is a “3 lane” round-a-bout? Inner lane for going left turn lane, center lane for straight or left turn lane and the outer for straight and right turn lanes..did you get all that? think up the most ugliest scenario and you have 14th and Superior, Lincoln Nebraska…ROFLOL!!
I was coming home from work one night and 2 teenagers ran a red light, and hit me! Ironicly, I was 6 houses from being home!! We were lucky nobody was badly injured, but we were very shook up!!
Yes but in my case, there were 2 fatalities; my parents. I was severely injured & spent 3 weeks in the hospital. We got hit from behind by an 18-wheeler! Mom & Dad were killed instantly. That was back in Oct. 1980. Now I have arthritis in my neck, knees & lower back. But I’m thankful to be alive. I have a rod in my right leg. I was able to have 2 sons afterwards. They are now 31 & 29. My oldest gave me 2 grandsons. But they live in Alaska, so don’t get to see them. I hope to this summer. You have to be careful with some of these crazy drivers! Some of them pull out right in front of you! Take care, everyone.
and it’s not only texting, but the way they have the lanes marked. You don’t know if you go around the circle, make a left into traffic (as I have seen many times), or turn right without stopping, OR go straight up and over the median to go straight..LOL!
HEY! We have a new round-a-bout in our neighborhood. You ought to see all the stkupid stunts there..LOL!! Ambulance at least every other day and cops every day…ROFLOL!!
I can’t say that happened to me but at least once I came close. I was at a stop light, it turned green for me but I hesitated, & some joker ran the red light.

Traffic circles? Unfortunately with all the texting, no one knows where to turn off.

come on. In America the traffic circle goes around to the right. right in , right out. there are no inner lanes for ‘fast traffic to nowhere.

Where I live it is always better to hesitate before you go on green because there is all ways someone that haveing a red light means hurry!
