Center turn lanes: suicide or the place to be?


Today, on my way home from our little local post office maybe 2 miles, I saw not once, but twice a car not utilizing the center turn lane A.K.A. the suicide lane. I can not tell you how frustrating this can be, especially when I did not have the personal opportunity to pull up behind the car and let them know of my frustration.

The center lane is not there to look pretty, it isn't there for flower pots, it serves a real and essential function. It allows cars to move out of the way of moving traffic while they wait to make their turn. Honestly...

Please do not neglect the center turn lane. Use it, embrace it, love it.
