Scenic 30A Traffic

[Teresa]

While there may be minor or even major delays at certain times of the year, there is no better place to live than BMB and SoWal.

I went through BMB twice yesterday without a bit of traffic problem. It is a wonderful place. But I do like it in the woods on the bay side where we can truly hide away.

Why does traffic coming north on 393 not have a turn arrow going westbound on 98? I can't tell you the number of times I've sat through multiple iterations of that light because people are too cautious.

m1a1mg, you are absolutely right! A turn arrow is badly needed at the intersection of 393 and 98. FDOT and BCC are you listening? It is an intersection just waiting for an accident to happen.

An interesting perspective, from a TBT thread (I wonder whatever happened to phdphay?). This was during the absolute height of the real estate bubble here...funny that my standard of bad traffic in 2015 is still whether or not 395 backs up to the Tom Thumb. http://sowal.com/bb/showthread.php/747-Traffic

That is an amazing perspective! We have been experiencing this for ten years! We are so absorbed in the present frustrating moment, that we haven't realized we have endured countless frustrating moments, and survived.

It also indicates to me that the 3 way stop at 395 and 30-A is working just as well today as it was in 2005.

My question is, are people being more courteous and letting people in at bad intersections, or are they just too absorbed in their texting to notice somebody cutting in front of them. Puzzling.
