Traffic halted by Grove St. accident
Be careful, it’s prom night. There are a lot of young drivers on the road.
There should be more strenuous requirements and testing to obtain a drivers license. Sure accidents can happen but someone wasnt paying attention or wasnt sure the traffic laws are as far as crossing roads/intersections or yeilding to traffic. A vehicle just didnt appear in an instance, it was traveling down the road. Not sure what vehicle was at fault here but serious charges and a suspension of their license should be an option.
Yield sign, a traffic sign controlling the give-way rules at an intersection (also called a give way sign)
that means LOOK and see if anyone's coming on the dang two lane hiway because THEY have the right away... NOT you.
p.s. if you wreck at that grove street intersection--- you deserve it.. you're a moron if you think you're suppose to just fly across the four lane without YIELDING in the middle to make sure no traffic is coming.
it's just nature's way to sort out the stupid folks round here
If I have the RIGHT OF WAY on the highway (especially if I am getting ready to make a right turn onto the bypass)and you have a YEILD sign on your stretch of roadway ... just who do you think will be cited???
LEARN the laws of the road and FOLLOW them.
again..... LOOK BEFORE YOU CROSS THE ROAD... it was taught to you in elementary school and applies throughout your life.... and YIELD MEANS STOP FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC ---- two lanes of traffic have the right away over a small merging road that has a yield sign clearly posted at the end of it.
this is lamar county though.. not that many brains 'round chere get 'r done
Yesterday you miss it. New fire headquarters is in the works. By mid month, Lamar County could be one step closer toward establishing a brand new fire and rescue headquarters inside the Barnesville city limits....
As for the YEILD SIGN issue ... I am greatful that my Daughter had to stop at one while learning to drive while I was in the car with her so that I could explain to her that this is sometimes the case and she needs to pay CLOSE attention in the event that she needs to actually stop.
Also, on the Interstate it is NOT required to move over when an on ramp merges but most people do try to move over as a courtesy. The move over law pertains to emergency vehicles on the roadside only and that even has a grey area pertaining to if it is safe to move over.
The Grove Street accidents do not make much sense to me either since there is the safety of the median where you are supposed to look to make sure there is no oncoming traffic before continuing across ... I don't think they put up traffic lights due to lack of using common sense.
You are not required to move over on the interstate either. Its just a safe and courteous thing to do.
Police and firefighters said... A yellow flashing light means you must slow down and exercise caution before proceeding through the intersection. A red flashing light means you must stop completely. treat as you would a stop sign. Proceed with caution only after yielding the right of way to pedestrians and to other vehicles at the intersection.
