Are you sure you are thinking of Galway Downs? Because there are no stop signs. If anything, having some stop signs or metered traffic signals might make things flow a little less smoothly. Highway 79S is 2 lanes once you leave the City of Temecula. There is a metered signal at Anza Road, but once off Highway 79S there are multiple entrance points into Galway Downs depending on the fields in use. Typically, Galway Downs has folks entering the inner polo field off of Los Caballos Road, and folks entering the new polo field off of Los Corralitos Road.
If anything, Galway Downs is the one of the few "large" complexes with multiple entry and exit points (assuming staff is operating them).
- Silverlakes, which only has 1 entry point at Hamner Avenue (4 Lane).
- SD Polo Fields has only 1 entry point (2 lane road - Via De La Valle).
- So Cal Sports Complex - Oceanside (2 lane road - Senior Center Dr).
- San Bernardino - 1 entry point on Pacific St (4 Lane).
- Galway Downs - 2 entry point on Los Corralitos and 1 entry point on Los Caballos Rd.
The problem with Galway Downs is two fold (1) they went through some growing pains when they initially opened the new field, and (2) most parents don't appreciate that it takes another 15 minutes to get to Galway once they exit the freeway. They figure its 45 minutes from Poway to Temecula, so they plan on that and find themselves running 15 to 25 minutes late because they have another 15 minutes to go and then need to park and find their fields (add another 10 minutes) ... AND to top it off they were already running 15 minutes late because "junior" can't find his socks and away jersey when we all should be getting in the car.
The locals (me) know that an easy way to get to Galway Downs and avoid the traffic is to us Pauba Road through wine country. Pauba runs parallel with Temecula Parkway/79-South and Rancho California Road.
