Automotive U - Turn Signal

My Wife Kristine and I Moved From Devore, Ca. To Visalia, Ca. A Few Years Ago. The Small Rural City Was A Nice Change of Pace For Us. To Our Surprise, We Found Out That In a Small Quiet City With a Actual “Main Street”, Is The Need For Constant U-Turns. We Would Drive a Few Blocks To Go To Target, Its Entrance In The Middle Of The Street On The Other Side…. “Make A U-Turn”. Time To Eat Dinner… The Steak House Is On The Other Side Of The Street…. “Make A U-Turn”. The Cleaners, The Local Radioshack…. Always On The Other Side Of The Street… Always a Need For U-Turns. Now It Could Of Been Poor Planning On Our Part…. But We Noticed That At Every Green Light, Someone Was Making A U-Turn…. Sometimes Three Or Four Cars Per Light…. So Poor Planning Maybe, Ours, Thiers, The Cities…. But One Constant Is That There Were Alot Of U-Turns And Sometimes It Would Be Nice To Know What The Person In Front Of You Is Doing…. Left Turn Or U-Turn. Our Idea…. Our Project…. Is An Automotive U-Turn Signal. Sold Only At RadioShack!

    I just ran into this situation today. I thought that the car in front of me should’ve been in the middle of intersection more so that we could both make the left hand turn before the light turned red, but he was making a U-Turn. Blood pressure raising light turning yellow & I’m still in the crosswalk, but I didn’t know he was hanging “U”. Good idea. What about when your turning right & the other car seems to be turning left & the 2 almost collide front ends? Good ideas always come from the Estelles’
    Good luck Jenny

    Get this guy to work on our freeways! Maybe he can come up with a good idea for that too! :)

    Ok You Have A Problem With Capitalization.

    Anyway, put the sugnal in the middle so it makes sense.

    I say U-Turns should be illegal, just make 3 right turns and one left turn.
