Fermented Tinal posted:When making right turns I always use the shoulder or move over to the right if it is safe to do so and there is traffic behind me. So what happens when a guy in the real right most lane legally turns right while a courteous shoulder driver also turns right? I'm not a fan of this move at all. The shoulder has a purpose and it's probably not for convenient shortcuts.

I think my red lines are covering over. So those are the 'reserved' spots I mentioned. Only about 1/3 of them get filled up during the day, so that's great for everyone.

TotalLossBrain posted:So what happens when a guy in the real right most lane legally turns right while a courteous shoulder driver also turns right? The answer is pretty simple really, don't pass on the shoulder, whichever car was ahead turns first. If someone pulls over the shoulder and sees someone in the through lane getting ready to make a right turn as well they should slow down and let the non-courteous driver in the through lane turn first. Naturally, in real life it's more likely to be some rear end in a top hat pulling to the shoulder and trying to pass a line of moving cars before making the right turn, but that is not the way it should be.

It's certainly more understandable on single lane roads. I see it all the time on six lane (plus 2 for left turns) intersections with 55mph limit highways.

Single lane highway, yeah, I'll move over. Multi-lane highway? No, you can move your rear end into the left lane instead of riding mine while I slow down to turn.

They added a new lane onto the motorway I use to get to work last week which acts as the exit lane onto another motorway. For the most part it works pretty well and moves far faster than the other lanes. It fucks up though when people jump in because it’s going faster but then attempt to merge back into the traffic. I watched a truck nearly slam into a car attempting such a move yesterday morning

A round of applause to the goober I got stuck behind this morning who would drive 5-10 mph under the limit, then coast through stop signs without ever tapping his brakes (then spend a half mile building up whatever speed he'd lost). Dude just straight up gave no fucks for how his decisions affected anyone around him.

I saw an old person drive their sedan this morning, approaching a 6-lane intersection across a 7-lane highway. Within the last 30 feet, he couldn't make up his mind which of the two straight lanes to take. whynotboth.gif? Exactly, he settled on straddling BOTH loving lanes at the very front of two lanes of cars waiting for a green. A short while later he pulled into the same parking lot I had already entered from a different point, completely without any self-awareness or any looking around whatsoever. Dude approaching you from the right in that parking lot? Tough poo poo when Oldie McSenior doesn't see you because he's not even looking. Just staring forward and driving with his mouth half-open.

People who stop on the far right in a right-or-straight lane instead of getting over to the left so somebody can turn next to them should be publicly caned, gently caress it's such a simple thing to do to not poo poo up the entire lane

Javid posted:People who stop on the far right in a right-or-straight lane instead of getting over to the left so somebody can turn next to them should be publicly caned, gently caress it's such a simple thing to do to not poo poo up the entire lane State Route 18 to the east of the location pictured has two lanes per direction plus a suicide lane. At this intersection it expands to three lanes westbound, all of which are permitted to go straight. I was traveling west and stuck behind two assholes who had been pacing each other for a couple of miles. As we approach the widening I put my signal on and prepare to move over in to the new rightmost lane to make my turn, at which point both of the other two drivers also decide they want to move over but then turn their signals off and sit there waiting for the light to change to go straight, blocking me from making a legal right-on-red while two straight-only lanes sit empty next to them.  Green is me, red and blue are assholes 1 and 2. Obviously there is sufficient shoulder there that I'd have had no trouble just going around the morons, but there was a cop I could see down the street and I didn't feel like finding out how much he cared about that move. I really wish they'd put in a few barriers and make that in to a turn-only lane. If two straight lanes was fine 500 feet prior it should still be there. As an added bonus they could then allow for a continuous right on red for westbound traffic coming off of Windfall.

I hate those kind of intersections. I always end up behind someone going straight when I want to make a right turn. In a perfect world, I think it would be a good idea to have the right lane be turn-only for 100 feet or so before the light, but knowing drivers that will realistically just lead to more cutting off.

I'm driving across Nevada, and the number of people that will just angrily sit in my rear-view mirror instead of passing on a two-lane road utterly boggles my mind. We're talking really rural highways, so most of the time there's not a single other car visible between the horizons for me. So I don't know what they expect to happen. I'm not going to suddenly go faster, just go the gently caress around me with the literally infinite amount of space you have to do so. I don't get it.

Taking the most desolate back roads that get me where I'm going this road trip was the best decision ever. Everything that makes me hate driving long distances is completely absent. Instead of being utterly loving exhausted after 12 hours holding a steering wheel, I'm just like "ok I can stop now I guess". I'm just puttering along at 55 on these nigh empty state highways, and the five cars per hour I see just go around me with no drama. I can stop to take photos pretty much at will, or just plain sit for a bit if I want to. Traffic basically doesn't exist, and won't for me until I'm much closer to Vegas. The worst part are the hick towns that think they're so important that interstate traffic needs to grind to a halt and go 25 through their series of trailers, packed bars, and rampant obesity, but at least those are few and far between.

Saw some guy merging onto the highway get brake-checked by a dick who almost changed lanes into him without signaling. Brake-checker wasn't even trying to move over for his exit, I have no clue what the gently caress he was doing. Drunk?

Most of the major highways being 3+ lanes wide these days probably helps, a lot harder for idiots to totally tie things up that way.

I think the biggest issue in Ohio is the terrible condition of the roads owing to this being a red state, with predictable politics/policies. Recently ODOT pretty much said if nothing is done in the near future we're going to have a major road crisis in the next few years. Predictably, the state house is quibbling over raising the gas tax by a whole dime, which is down from the initially proposed $0.185 cent hike. And even if it passes we'll likely be back in the same boat in 5-10 years because they dropped pegging the gas tax to inflation.

I've never looked into why it is but kentucky is red af and we have some of the best state roads that I've seen. If it's numbered it's redone seemingly at most 2 years, sometimes less. Quick fixes on stuff compared to the closest state I see a lot, Ohio. Cincy is pretty bad.
