You will be responsible for the next person to be injured. Pull out in front of someone driving 55-60 plus mph. I’ve lost count how many times I have had to hit the shoulder because of this with a few times happening in front of your neighborhood cop. I understand DOTD didn’t approve a red light but at the very least you would think the new subs being built would be required to have an acceleration/merge lane.

There’s legitimately no other way to get out. Go to one of those subdivisions around 7:30 any weekday morning. Best case traffic backs up all the way from the bluebonnet red light and people are going 20 or 30.

I used to have to turn left out of there every morning. It’s brutal.

Don’t be so dramatic. I’ve never once forced someone to swerve in the shoulder to avoid me. But I am pulling out in front of people that I would normally never pull out in front of. They do have to let off their gas and maybe even brake a little but not swerve or slam on their brakes. I live in Lexington and we don’t have a cop stopping traffic for us. There is literally no other way out without doing this. At least I’m taking a right, I don’t know how anyone leaves and goes left.
