Get ready to watch out for the Red Light Runners. I think the lights will help people know who has the right of way, but remember to look both ways before shooting across.

The traffic lights on 98 are well needed and looong overdue. The traffic lights going up on 30-A in Rosemary Beach are just plain "aargh"! If memory serves, the first traffic lights on 30-A proper. Go Bif and Muffy!

Well, most owners in Rosemary are from Atlanta, and they need their traffic lights to make them feel at home. :funn:

I've been so favorable for the new lights on 98....at the same time, the chances of people running red lights on 98 are of great concern. At least now we know to WAIT until the coast is clear before we pull out from 395 for example. With the lights, we will all ASSUME that the coast is clear when we have green light!! I do hope that the warning signs of some type will remain on 98 so folks will know they are approaching potential red light. I don't know a thing about traffic/safety controls but would totally support whatever warning system works. I am already warning, warning, warning my family of drivers to BE MORE CAREFUL THAN EVER once these lights go up & not to ASSUME that Green means the coast is clear! Be safe!!

It seems that some of the Rosemary residents are already sourcing heavy drapes in anticipation of the red-yellow-green flash all night. Perhaps a timely late night run with a good-sized Sawzall would gain some fans?

No matter where you are, people run red lights. That's a fact of life. I think it's a good idea to continue being cautious at that intersection.

The older couple who manage our condo have lived in Seagrove for over 25 years and they said Rte. 98 is known as "bloody 98" because of all the fatalities on it. Thank goodness for the new traffic lights!

Green light means you have permission to look both ways.
