Descrição

When FDOT was completing road improvements on Gandy Blvd they pushed back the left turn lane that went into Tortuga Pointe Apartments (when a vehicle is headed eastbound on Gandy). Because of this, the turn lane no longer aligns with the entrance to the complex and many vehicles are now driving the wrong way on Gandy Blvd (driving eastbound on the westbound side of the road) in order to enter the complex from the turn. This maneuver is very dangerous and I've witnessed several close calls between vehicles. FDOT should look at this turn again to determine what can be done to make it safer (with signage, etc.) or to fix the turn's alignment with the road.
