A few weeks ago, the intersection of Oak Park Boulevard and West Grand Avenue in Grover Beach was updated with new lanes and a new rule. At each of the four corners, signs are posted “No Turn On Red.” This is new. I understand. However, I have observed that four out of five drivers per traffic light change disregard the new rule and turn right on the red light anyway. If a traffic officer was posted at that intersection, the city would stand to make a lot of revenue from citations, at least until people start obeying the law. I do wonder, though, if there was ever any intention of enforcing this law. If not, then remove those signs. Not enforcing rules undermines your credibility.

I was curious about that No Right Turn on Red sign, too. I wondered if there was a high number of accidents at that intersection caused by people turning right on red into through traffic. Or did they just have some extra signs laying around?
And why the mini posts along Oak Park? Too many customers turning into Carl’s or Rite Aid causing how many accidents? Who make these decisions and why and when do We The People learn the whys of the decision makers.
I, for one, am sick and tired of elected or appointed individuals making decisions that We The People cannot understand at all.
I, for one, am sick and tired o thinking “What the h___ ” is going on here?
