xzzy posted:It's 100% not like that everywhere. Where I learned to drive (Alaska) stopping in an intersection (and the crosswalk) is forbidden at all times. So if you want to turn left, you have to stay behind the stop line until you can drive all the way through without stopping. That's odd, but only that it's statewide? I suppose. There are plenty of cities that paint lines and have "don't block the box" type things like in NYC. They have to because of traffic, otherwise it turns into gridlock. Anything that's not a place like that.....nah....you have control of the intersection you have control of the intersection and it's all good.

BOOTY-ADE posted:Or the people that stop like 1/4 mile back from the light & hold everyone else up with the absolute slowest acceleration ever On that first note, what the hell is up with people stopping waaaaay the gently caress back behind railroad crossings? I see it all over the system I run, but there's on particular crossing that blows my mind because it's a six lane road and we only creep through at 20 mph. Invariably, the cars will stop about 100 feet back like I'm about to jump the train off the tracks and chase them down. I haven't seen any unusual markings on the pavement, so I'm stumped. It just throws me off when I go through there in rush hour and there's six lanes of cars, all packed with commuters going home and stopped super far away.

That's always the reason drivers do anything stupid.

Most RR Crossings look like ================ (Limit line) --------------------------------- RXR ---------------------------------- People think one of the other lines is the limit line. Which is honestly reasonable in a vacuum because the limit line is supposed to be the first solid white line, not the 3rd.

Given the rest of the broken English I'd say he meant 'stunned' instead of stoned. Of course, not only did he buy a model X but also posts on Tesla fan forums so who can say for sure.

I noticed another cyclist blowing through a four-way stop yesterday, near the same place I saw one do the same thing and give me the finger for taking my right-of-way the other day, but this time I paid a little bit more attention to the full situation, and I realized why it was happening: they don't have stop signs, because in each case they were going the wrong way on a one-way street. Seems like either the bike lanes should be marked to indicate they are one-way only, or an extra stop sign should be added. This is exacerbated by the fact that there are a few two-way bike lanes on one-way streets in my city.

Raluek posted:do the bike lanes not have arrows on them? the ones here do. I don't think they do, but the streets are clearly indicated as one-way streets and these bike lanes (unlike the ones which are properly two-way on a one-way street) aren't separated by a curb and don't have a dividing line down the middle of the bike lane itself, so they are clearly meant to be one-way only. That being said, it would be a good idea to have directional arrows painted on the bike paths and perhaps extra stop signs for the "wrong way" just to increase safety.

Also when they don't follow the signals and charge across the intersection once they see cross traffic has the red. I have a green arrow to take my left but nope, thanks to this rear end in a top hat puttering across, the people behind me will sit here until the next cycle of the lights.

Why does that sign have one side with more clearance than the other? He would have cleared it easy if he'd been in the other lane. Doesn't even look like a "sign." It's just some art project slapped up to make the roads more beautiful.
