@CestLaVie Unless there is a posted yield sing to the entry ramp of the highway. Those are called acceleration lanes. The car isn't to yeild at all. It is to match the speed of highway traffic and then merge as to not impede flow. You as a driver already on the highway, such as 440 are to maintain your speed. While the acceleration lane(on ramp) are to match your speed and merge in. If you slow down or speed up on 440 that makes it difficult for people to enter the highway. Even more so in some states, such as my home state people are even polite enough to change lanes to allow you an easier safer merge.

Bartmeister, it is people with attitudes like yours regarding parking lots that made me carry my children when walking in parking lots or holding their hands with a death grip once they got older.

The entire parking lot is a mixed pedestrian / vehicle area, and whether you like it or not, the car must yield. What is your problem, hurry. It is a parking lot, not a roadway.

Moriahe: "American drivers generally ignore their duty to yield..." to pedestrians OR vehicles....period.

EVERY day when on I-440 West on my way to the 64/264 bypass exit just past New Bern Avenue, and in the right lane for this exit, traffic entering on the I-440 ramp from 64 Business always come barreling down that ramp lane with NNNNOOOOOOO yielding done to the cars on I-440.

I also see this on the entrance ramp from Saunders north onto I-440 East. NNNNOOOOO yielding is done to those cars with the right-of-way that have turned left & already entered from Saunders south.

Ditto for heading on I-440 west & in the right-hand lane for upcoming exit to Saunders north. Traffic entering on the ramp for I-440 West from Hammond Rd like to bear down on you, making a driver feel like they're playing chicken & see who's going to yield.

WHERE ARE THE COPS AT ALL THESE LOCATIONS plus others????

"Bear in mind a lot of visitors to RDU come from other places in the world where crosswalks are respected. "

Bear in mind these people were on a sidewalk where pedestrians should be and this vehicle ran up on the curb before running them over.

"i will remind you all again, the SUV jumped the curve."

All by itself? Amazing. BTW, that's "curb".
