Use blinkers to minimize hazards

There is a traffic hazard fronting Excelsior Academy at 124 E. Erda Way when children are dropped off and picked up. Traffic is stopped in long lines in both directions. People blocking the roadway need to use their blinkers too so other drivers know to go around them. It’s hazardous enough to worry about circling around stopped drivers, into oncoming traffic, which cannot always be seen due to the other long line of people waiting to turn into the lot. Through traffic that hits this standstill for the first time has to sit there 30 minutes thinking there is an accident ahead because drivers are not courteous enough to use their blinkers. Please, if only for the sake of the safety of your children, use your blinkers to minimize the hazards to the rest of us. I would encourage law enforcement to cite those who do not use blinkers to reduce this chronic hazard, which certainly is not limited to Erda Way.

Why do drivers like to speed up when they see a persons blinker and claim they were cut off when the person with the blinker takes the lane or turns in the direction there blinker indicates there going to go on utah roads?

why cant they back off / slow down when they see the blinker?
