I hate non-all-way stops in the city. My city has mostly gone to all-way stops over the past 20 years or so but there's a couple left and they're a pain the rear end.

Beyond that, all-way stops are supposed to be for where roads with relatively equal traffic volumes meet. If your city is taking unequal intersections and making them all-way stop that sucks and should not be encouraged.

There's one stretch of road near my house that has a bunch of stop signs. The flow of driving on that stretch is basically speed up to the speed limit, then stop for a stop sign, over and over again for like 6 stop signs. I'd be much happier with roundabouts there...

sleepy.eyes posted:Today it was me. Stoped at a sign, saw another car not slowing down and stabbed the brakes. I was pretty annoyed but I'm used to fuckers running stop signs. Only it turns out it wasn't a 4-way. Thank gently caress I'm about the only person in this town who -stops- or I would have been hosed and 100% at fault. A little humility ain't a bad thing. I've nearly gotten hosed by that too. And of course, people blowing 4-ways. They're removing several rotaries where I live and it makes me sad. We'll just have massive interchanges and the traffic will get worse instead.

You'll be happy to know that they still have that bullshit one way sign halfway down a street in my town, speaking of which. At least it's a bit more visible now because a weed store bought all the abandoned lots next to it and turned them into a nice parking lot and landscaping instead of vast thickets of falling down buildings, chainlink fences, and all-consuming masses of vines.

Yay for the weed store, I'm sure it's nicer than the meth dens that were there previously. One of the dumbest intersections in the Commonwealth...

I had a car go straight through a turning lane beside me off a light and almost hit me because the single lane on the other side of the intersection lines up with the turning lane. they honked when i carried on into my lane because i didn't expect someone to be cruising in my blindspot in a non-existent lane, although i usually check just in case. I ended up in front of them, and they floored it and passed me on a narrow residential street just to show me how inconvenient it was that i didn't cater to their lovely driving. There are 4 loving turning lane signs on the road, and one on the street light because people are irredeemable shitheels.

If there's one thing abundantly clear to me about driving, it's that most people are completely incapable of thinking ahead like that. It's just simple poo poo that makes your life easier like getting over to the rightmost lane before your exit comes up on the highway, etc. People just don't think about stuff like that. Or maybe it's probably more accurate to say people just don't think.

A friend commented recently that since covid stuff has eased up here and people have started going to jobs again after a few months not driving, they seem worse. Like they'd forgotten how to drive. I reminded him they were always poo poo, there was just more cars around so they could hide their fuckwittery easier in the crowds of metal.

Here’s a couple from this winter. This idiot didn’t bother to stop at the off-ramp, and you can also see they tried to hit-and-run unsuccessfully:  This idiot missed a turn onto my street (ish - the feeder to my street). The road they were turning off of is 45mph; looks to me like they were going a *tad* faster than that when they tried making the left turn:

What I don't get is out of all those people in that meeting, not one of them called him out for his completely obvious bullshit. This is why important bills aren't being passed because of a bunch of pussies that don't want to ruffle any feathers. gently caress that guy.

Oh, I know. But that won't stop a company offering greenscreen fabric sown up to cover a seatbelt and flogging the hell out of it to people who don't think even that far ahead, or have a clue what a greenscreen is or does.

Oh there's one like that in my city (well there are more I'm sure but one that I run into). You turn onto this street like normal and drive for a while. Then in the middle of it there's a one way sign among a dozen other useless signs, poles, ads and trees. The next intersection is with a huge square where cops are almost always waitig of course. The one time I blew through it, I left my wallet at the office and they let me go after I kept searching for it in my briefcase, on the floor and under the seats for a few minutes.

Anyone who would take a video meeting while driving is clearly a deep thinker and an incredible driver. The seat belt isn't needed for them at all, they should just unclip it.

The dashcam video of it wasn't worth copying but I saw a pedestrian nearly get killed the other day. Traffic light intersection at a non-US "highway" with pedestrian crossings across two of the sides. An old woman with a walker started moving when the lights changed, but must have misunderstood which direction was active and headed off across the highway while the approaching cars had a green light. First car saw her in plenty of time, and slowed to a stop at the line, but it blocked the vision of the car in the next lane which sped past just before she reached its path. It was a good way to get to work feeling very awake.
