Tackets Mill Light

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi.I slug/pick up at Tackets mill. I just wanted to see if anyone else has issues with the signals. [xx(]  To turn left into the lot the left arrow signal is less than a minute! May seem long enough but not if you are waiting to slug/pick up!! Than to leave the lot (going right) you have to wait forever to get out. This holds up cars behind picking up and inevitably holding up the whole slugging process. 

	To me, slugging is a time saver (and money) and for just something small like the signals to interfere it can cause a lot of heartache. Just wanted to post to see if it was just me waking up on the wrong side of the bed.

	That light does suck!!! I usually go down to Harbor Dr., cut through the parking lot so I end up facing Minneville. This way I just shoot straight across the road rather than sitting there forever for the light to change! I also find it easier in the afternoon when I'm dropping off slugs to take the Prince William Pkwy exit through the Horner Rd lot, make the right at Telegraph, then make a right onto Minneville. It beats sitting in the traffic on Old Bridge if I were to take the Rt 123N exit from HOV lanes.

	I hate that light, and I've only taken slugs to Tackett's Mill three times. It seems like 10 minutes when you're waiting.
