I'm quite confused that our only evacuation route is clogged daily with a left turn into the Tom Thumb only a few feet from this major intersection, left turn is allowed going north on 331. I've witnessed several near tragedies in this area. How do we get this allowed turn eliminated from use???

The best case would be for Tom Thumb to modify their in/out, but since they have gas trucks and delivery trucks, that may not be practical. Plus, until someone dies and they get sued, they likely wouldn't consider it anyway.
But I agree - making a left turn across 331 (going into the parking lot, or coming out) at the Tom Thumb is pretty scary.

That's true. I didn't think about that. But it's still dangerous, no matter what you do.

John HallBeach LoverSanta Rosa Beach70 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach Loverjust a couple thoughts.......changing lanes within 100ft of an intersection is illegal and turning left across a double yellow.....youre a stupid fellow
while we are at it how about the 65 mph sign 300ft from jd miller ...makes it kinda hard to pull out on 98 going west.
I think they did there traffic study from google earth..
