Have any of you seen people stopping to take a picture of the Welcome Arch on World Drive? The last two trips people have stopped, either on the shoulder or road itself, to take a picture.

Last trip someone stopped in the middle lane to take a picture. They were hanging out the window to snap the shot. Talk about an accident waiting to happen. In my opinion, you can snap the shot if you are prepared. My guess is people see the Arch for the first time and stop to get their camera out.... not thinking that they are on a 50mph road!

Everytime we go on property we see folks taking pictures under the arches. Sometimes they aren't pulled off the road.

I always thought they should have a turn off there, so people could stop and take a photo.

I have to admit on our first trip last year we were one of the ones stopping to take a pic of the arch. We did pull over to the side of the road. It's just something about seeing it for the first time.

At the Kennedy Space Center, a couple of international tourists stopped on the road leading out of there (55mph limit) to read a map. They were just past an overpass and couldn't be seen by oncoming drivers leaving work.

**Boom** huge accident.
