Description
Complex, sorry. The issue is leaving the VA under a green light facing North and turning right (East) onto Bay Pines Blvd. The South-bound 95th Street North traffic that wants to turn left (also East) also onto Bay Pines Blvd. does not yield the "right of way" of traffic turning under the green light and does not yield for the traffic heading straight North from "Hoover" on the VA side to 95th Street North. Some of this traffic is large: box trucks, trucks pulling boats, trailers, lawn equipment. The traffic wants "to merge" and take the left-hand lane of Bay Pines Blvd leaving the right-hand lane for those of us leaving the VA. Otherwise they sit there all day which is bad. So it is sort of an understood "dance" that we do but often new drivers to the area, young drivers or the elderly either don't understand and are either overly cautious or worse overly aggressive. There are also bicycles, pedestrians and people waiting for the bus. Thank you for any thing that you may be able to do.
