I don't know what it is about the neighborhood I live in, but people here can't use the center turn lane to turn left for some hosed up reason. Don't look surprised if I crawl up your loving rear end with the horn and high beams going if you came to a full stop in the traffic lane when there's a specially marked lane for you to stop and turn from!

The version of that we have here is that they will almost come to a complete stop and then move into the turn lane at the very last moment before they turn.

Uthor posted:And forgetting their turn signal until they are half way into the turn lane. That would be an improvement, since turn signals aren't really used that much when they really need it. I'll see people in the left turn lane at a stoplight with the turn signal on but it's kind of unneeded there since you know they are going left just from what lane they are in.

Really though, flashing yellow left turn lights can go gently caress themselves. Especially when there isn't a break in traffic and the light goes from flashing to a solid yellow to solid red.

I admire your optimism, and also hope it doesn't get you wrecked one day when you fail to anticipate the dude in the left turn lane making a right turn in front of you.  DEAR RICHARD posted:Really though, flashing yellow left turn lights can go gently caress themselves. Especially when there isn't a break in traffic and the light goes from flashing to a solid yellow to solid red. Isn't the flashing yellow just a new extra indicator for the arrowless solid green phase at a semi-protected left? You should be entering the intersection on the flashing yellow (just pulling across the stop line, not entering the oncoming lanes yet) and then waiting until there is a break to complete your turn. If there is no break, then you wait until the end of the cycle when the oncoming lanes go red and then complete your turn to exit the intersection (which is legal in most places since you are already in the intersection, having entered it legally on the flashing yellow earlier). If you can't do that, then just wait for the solid green arrow on the next cycle. If there is no solid green arrow phase at that intersection, then it might be easier to find an alternative to turning left there; make a U-turn further up the road at a protected left, or make a right onto the cross street and turn around somewhere there, or something. There are always those lovely intersections where it just isn't possible or advisable to make a particular turn at certain times of the day (or at all), but it's usually pretty easy to look at Google Maps and find a way to avoid it. You might also consider writing a letter to your local planning office to suggest adding a protected left phase at a particularly nasty intersection; if they get a bunch of complaints, it's always possible that someone might actually decide to do something about it.

Was on my way to Canterbury today, and on my way there on the other side of the road there is a Micra with two old ladies sitting inside chatting away. Except their Micra wasn't moving, it was just sitting in the road, foot on the brakes, just doing nothing while they nattered away, and an increasing queue of traffic was building up behind them. I should point out as well this is on a 60mph single carriageway. Some people.  Also sounds to me all the intersection problems people are having in this thread could be easily solved by replacing your intersections with roundabouts.

DEAR RICHARD posted:Oh yeah? Thanks for the Around here, flashing yellows are a good thing. Old light programming went solid green protected left, solid yellow protected left, red protected left. Now it goes solid green protected left, flashing yellow protected left for the rest of the light cycle, then only goes to red at the end when the other direction is about to go. So it doesn't decrease the amount of green arrow you would have gotten before, it just eliminates those times when you're sitting at a light with a red arrow, but nobody is coming and it would be perfectly safe to turn if it weren't for that drat red arrow.

I found them really annoying at first, but people have gotten used to them now and aren't as confused. Also, the majority of the intersections have finally switched over (it was a slow rollout), so you aren't surprised from intersection to intersection as to what lights you will encounter.

Carry a grease pencil in your car, write rude messages on their window. They get offended, you don't get arrested for damaging someone's property. Everyone wins!

A friend of mine used to keep the tool you use to remove the core from a tire valve in his glove box for this sort of thing. You don't even have to remove them entirely, just loosen them a bit and they won't hold air properly so even if the person has a pump they'll just lose it all again.

Easy Mac posted:I pass semi trucks on the right if I have to. I end up doing this quite a bit since trucks have to use the middle lane and the right lane is 80% of the time the fastest lane during traffic. I'd be lying if I didn't clench a bit when it happens though.

In Florida at least it's illegal to even have one of those on your car unless you're a cop or something similar.

Some loving moron sat in one of the straight-ahead lanes at a green light with his blinker on (there's a left turn only lane he should have been in) and got extremely mouthy when I honked. No, you can't wait for a left green arrow and take a left from the straight-only lane after blocking an entire line of traffic waiting to go straight when they have a green just because you're a loving retard and are in the wrong lane.

The problem with doing that is you've now just increased the time that rear end in a top hat is parked poorly since they now have to wait for AAA. It's lose lose.

I've found that a half a sticker from a Jimmy John's sub will fit nicely over a registration sticker without looking too out of place. Park with your rear end end over my driveway? Enjoy some nice probable cause.
