When you encounter a large boulder the size of a small boulder on the highway, that's one thing... but a large boulder the size of a large boulder? gently caress that.

It's not the size of the boulder, but how fast it's moving.

I saw someone post a still of a car going the wrong way through a roundabout, but I can't find which thread it was in. Well anyway here's a live-action version https://packaged-media.redd.it/c7km...1938fac7077#t=0

I dig the bushes that completely bone your visibility of oncoming traffic. Excellent planning.

That thing wouldn't legally qualify as a roundabout here. Build some proper ones!

Converting 4 way stops to roundabouts rarely works and I wish cities would knock it off. They did a lot of that in the west end of Vancouver and planted bushes in the middle of the thing and ruin the visibility there too and it's loving stupid. Now you have people who don't understand how to do a 4 way stop AND don't understand how to use a (lovely) roundabout! On the radio whenever traffic lights are out they say "use the 4 way stop procedure" and I weep because no one seems to know it.

Whenever my power goes out so does the nearby traffic light. I always walk out to see the chaos. People don’t even slow down.

I've watched garbage trucks going the wrong way around near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost, like videos on a cheap SD card.

Four-way stops are the devil and must be destroyed at all costs. Roundabouts work fine down to very tiny. It might be a skill issue.

I think that 4 way stops are cool and good in neighborhoods. I'd rather force drivers to slow down and stop than maximize throughput where kids could be playing, especially now with poo poo like waze

Properly implemented roundabouts are cool and good, cities just can't stop themselves from loving them up in ways that defeat the entire point of a roundabout. (my favorite I remember is a roundabout that had stop signs at every entry point into the circle)

It could never happen right? It happened, multiple times  .

In the area I lived once they were putting in traffic calming by putting concrete barriers diagonally across intersections with just a plain 5' pole in the centre of the old intersection and no sign on it for some reason (or maybe it fell off/was stolen?) Anyway one winter we got a real heavy snow dump and some guy in a jeep came blasting thru the fresh snow and the barrier was completely obscured and he slammed into it and the pole at quite a clip. Just mangled that Jeep. I wondered if he ever sued the city on that one because he'd probably have a case. It totally hosed up the intersection too as the larger fire trucks couldn't turn down it without just scraping the gently caress out of parked cars, which I saw happen as I stood and cringed as they just mangled some cars (not mine).. They have fixed it since and done a proper curve to do calming on it while allowing bikes to go through but man it was a poo poo show for a while lol.

Stop signs are dumb, we hardly have them in my country. People treat them as yield signs anyway. Four way stops are completely foreign to me. On an intersection with roads of equal priority, traffic from the right always has priority which avoids the ambiguity of four-way stops. Basically this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42oQN7fy_eM

There is an intersection I drive a lot which has a left turn light that switches from Green to "Yield to oncoming traffic" as my light turns green. Often there are lots of people who just gun it for that left turn without yielding. I admit I've been guilty of going on my green while people are running the "yield". I do watch for idiots who won't stop (because I don't want to be in a crash) but usually my big truck will give the light runners second thoughts.
