Description
The connected parking lots in the Marc's/Aaron's/Giant Eagle plazas on Andrews Road are crazy - no lines, no speed bumps, lots of open space for people to drive fast and think they have the right-of-way. Major accidents waiting to happen.

Tell me Kathy, how would improvements to a parking lot stop people from running a stop sign? Should there be a gate that gets raised only after you come to a complete stop?
Actually I think common sense does apply quite rationally in this situation. Idiot drivers are not going to change no matter what kind of markings you put. Everyone knows you drive on the right side, idiot drivers dont care. Idiots are still going to run stop signs, speed, cut people off, and not use their turn signal.

Taking Andrews road isn't a useful route if you need to travel on Plains Road over to Hopkins.
I too have had several close calls by vehicles that fail to stop when entering the main driveways from the parking rows. It's chaotic because people don't seem to understand which traffic has the right-of-way. This could be improved by painting white stop lines at the end of each parking row and other appropriate locations. I believe a majority of people would follow a traffic pattern if they actually could actually identify it.
