There is an intersection in my hometown where one direction is four lanes at controlled intersection arranged: ⬅️⬅️⬆️➡️ 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣ One time in 2 right at the stop light turning left and the car in 3 at the stop line decided to also turn left. It was a great feeling having to slow down just enough not to be sideswiped but not too much to be rear ended.

I'm a fan of left turn lanes having a stop line car length set back from the adjoining lane. And even then you see the wear lines on road have worn away a part of the setback stop line.

Looks like the Viaduct where people get speeding was built in 2001/2002 and the roundabout was created as part of the project: https://onmilwaukee.com/articles/sixthstreet 20 years and people are still losing their poo poo on that roundabout. Edit: I submitted the roundabout as a Park on Google Maps.

Baconroll posted:Since the 11 foot 8 bridge got sadly neutered I now enjoy videos from the the Milwaukee Roundabout - Lots of great ones here, I studied the road on street view a while back and it was changed to a roundabout 10 years ago at the same time the bridge was improved. Lots of people driving 50+ when it's posted for 30 or so. You can see a lot of skid marks on the approach. waffle iron fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Dec 8, 2021 |

wolrah posted:The last time this one came up I recall looking at the street view and when you're coming over the bridge going south it really looks like the road just keeps going more or less straight down 6th until you come over the peak of the bridge and there's a curb in front of you for the jog over to the roundabout marked by a single small yellow chevron sign. Beyond that, the road leading up to it is wide, straight, flat other than the bridge, and has no significant obstacles. In other words regardless of how it's signed, this is a fast road. Totally agree. They viaduct improvement widened the sidewalk/walking path and there are only two signs indicating the roundabout is coming up. Each sign is very small and mounted on the other side of the walking path so it appears even smaller.

PeterCat posted:Ok, I was honked at repeatedly by the car behind me for not making a right on red. Every single week at a light controlled intersection I will inch forward to make a right on red and the vehicle to my left will see and also pull forward so I can't see the traffic coming from the left. I live in the northeast and I used to only experience it regularly when I lived in southern California. Doesn't help that I drive an older Civic and every other car on the road has a larger and taller front end than mine. I would support making every lane but the right lane have a pushed back stop line. I see witness marks on the road everywhere showing that people making left turns are nearly always driving through the double yellow of the street they're turning on to. waffle iron fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Mar 6, 2022 |

bigbillystyle posted:Oh and for America is big as poo poo talk, I've done the southern routes across as well and if you go I-20 or I-10 you can literally wake up in Texas, drive for 10 hours, stopping only for food and fuel, and still be in Texas. I drove a move from Southern California to New England. Day 1 was east of San Diego CA to Las Cruces NM (just short of El Paso) in ~10 hours. The second day was 10 hours just to get to Dallas. At least I didn't make the mistake I made when moving to California where I stopped a day 5 hours west of Dallas metro and was only in Big Spring Texas. My stay at a La Quinta cost me $219 a nice because it was so much in the middle of nowhere.

I bet she has AAA and was too drugged out to use it. Everyone I knew in Southern California when I lived there had AAA. So much so that the CA AAA affiliate has a lock out on how soon after buying coverage that you can get a free tow.

The whole length is striped with solid lines indicating no lane changes. It's not ideal but the filmer is clearly doing what the person designed that road intended. (Even if the design was decades of continuing to restripe an amateur design.)

Shouldn't the driver been able to down shift engine brake to reduce a lot of the speed? Or am I missing something?

Motronic posted:Maybe things have changed, but low rolling resistance tires were always the ones that rode and wore like iron and you'd get like 60k miserable miles out of them on your first gen prius/insight/whatever. I think they've improved since then, but since they're more expensive I'm sure a significant number of Tesla owners end buying normal tires after the factory tires are worn out. Or like this guy never gets new tires. Edit: I'm reminded of the huge number of cars I'd see in California that had bald tires and threads showing. With near constant dry road conditions, they didn't learn their lesson until there was a little wet weather. waffle iron fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Jan 17, 2024 |

A previous favorite crash prone area camera is https://www.youtube.com/@MilwaukeeRoundabout. There is a wide bridge/viaduct where people speed and it dumps those driving south right into a large roundabout. Too bad there hasn't been a new video in forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00FH-OFFinA&t=11s waffle iron fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Apr 15, 2024 |
