The road that I have to pull out onto from the school is one lane each way, and in the morning the in-bound lane is backed up a good ways. Traffic moves, but slowly, and I have to make a left turn into that in-bound lane. If I had to wait for the traffic to pass, I would never make it. There is no turning lane, and I have to depend totally on the kindness of drivers in oncoming traffic. Because of the frequency of traffic coming the other direction, I can't just pull out and "put my nose in" as my husband says, because I would be blocking the lane of oncoming traffic. Every time I need to turn, though, without fail, a kind driver slows to let me in. I have come to depend on it and have never been disappointed or left to wait minute after minute as the traffic shuttles by.
Thank you, Bentonville drivers.
