Who else feels like they're taking their lives in their hands in the confines of the Corral Centre? From the people doing 50 km. in the thoroughfares, to people racing diagonally through parking stalls? Three times in one night simply driving the distance from the Home Depot to the street running parallel to Starbucks, I had to brake heavily to avoid collision. Last night in Walmart parking lot another diagonal dysfunctional nearly run into my path and he was doing in excess of 50 and when I honked the horn while narrowly avoiding another collision he flipped me the bird. Who administers tests to these ________'s? Wow!

Good name for the Corral Centre. It's a nightmare at peak times. Shindico or whoever designed the Corral should know this is a never ending parking and design nightmare with all those curbs, entry and exit points.  
 
Having said that, a person just has to have a bit of patience. Can't say I've had an enormous amount of people cut me off and I'm there a lot.  
 
I usually drive with a natural smile on my face, and get waved through by most. People are generally kind if I'm not an arse.  

I agree that there are many idiots going 50 kph or more in the Corral Centre. Hate to go there and avoid the place as often as I can. Have had a couple of fender benders.  
 
There should be a speed limit of 10 mph or 15 kph as there is in most US mall parking lots.

There is a posted limit 20km at the C Center

Worst ting they did was build the liquor mart in that location. If it had been just south, they could have placed a 4 way stop where the 3 way is now, at least gives a chance to turn left from the home depot then.

the whole design of that place is bad and thats why people get frustrated and cut across empty lots, 50 is a bit to fast in in most of the center but sometimes i wonder if its more of the opinion or perception of people, the drivers dont feel they are going fast and the walkers feel 10 is way fast and some trust their driving ability more. thing is unless the drivers are right by the walking paths or lots of parked cars then you just have to not let the difference of opinion bother you

I agree. Its scarey

the whole design of the Coral Centre is horrible. Trying to get out onto the main strip from Home Depot, or the Liquor store is increasingly difficult. Another issue is, it is not pedestrian, or Wheelchair friendly, making it really hard to walk anywhere.

Isn't it fun ??

I worked in the Corral Centre for 5+ years and that was what I hated most about my job at the time, mornings weren't that bad, but leaving work in the evening could be a nightmare. My vehicle was hit twice while parked and I was at work. Nobody left a note both times or came looking. I hated that place with a passion and haven't returned since. That parking lot is the worst in Brandon IMO.
