Milton The Cranky Mainer Is Having Trouble Turning Right Onto Wiggly Street

I’m not sure what the reward will be, but I am sure I should be the one to present it. Starting with the idiot in the SUV behind me this afternoon. In our town we have a weird intersection, I think planned by an engineer from Weird, Florida. If you’ve never heard of Weird, don’t worry about it. The engineer who planned that intersection probably doesn’t remember where it is either, even though he likely graduated from the Weird University of Weird, Florida. At any rate, the intersection is undesigned so traffic coming north on Route 3 from Bar Harbor has to swing right onto a newly built street that “S” shapes its way past Home Depot and Walmart to a traffic light that leads onto Route 1. The northbound traffic has no traffic signal, but vehicles heading south on Route 3 do. The villainous signal of which I write is to make a left turn from southbound Route 3 onto this new wiggly road. There is really no way traffic heading south on Route 3 have any idea that traffic heading north on Route 3 has no traffic control. So, naturally, when the southbound driver turning left onto Wiggly Street sees his green left-turn arrow, he goes. He has no way to know a northbound Route 3 driver turning right onto Wiggly Street has no red light or even a “yield” sign. Lots of confusion at the intersection of Route 3 and Wiggly Street. (read lots, lots more of this at MagicCityMorningStar. The Meteor regrets we don’t have a number for the The DoogleDeDoogle Nuthouse mentioned at the end)
