You want some traffic fun?

Instead of a roundabout, its a weird figure eight. If you’re going faster than 15mph or so it almost feels like you’re going to flip. This is in Hays, KS.

The vestigial Vine St. isn’t actually a road anymore. The yellow road is Vine now.

I've been to Hays once before and I'm trying to remember if I saw that.

Edit: I did drive through that intersection but I don't remember anything jumping out at me as weird about it.

This is relatively new construction. It was built in the last year or so. I’ve never driven through anything like it.

It’s very much a traffic calming design because people used to race down vine at 60+ and now you can’t go faster than 20 through that part or you’re gonna have a bad day.

E: google street view hasn’t updated since the construction so it still looks like two lighted intersections. It’s very different now.

Ok, I was out there in December of 2019

The whole point of the diverging diamond is to lessen the possibility of that. You'd have to drive over a curb.

We've got 1 in PA. 2 more under construction to my knowledge.

They put roundabouts in at the front and back end of my home town and I think someone plowed through the sign under the influence in the first week.

That's because pennsylvania roads are a madmax free for all

Now I'm having a Dean Pelton moment where I don't know what's a pun or not and I can't tell if the joke is going way the gently caress over my head or if there wasn't a joke to begin with.

Either way, shame on an IGA should wear that sixer like a Purple Heart.

Dude got trapped in a porta potty in Gettysburg

That entire region pays the trades poo poo and treats them like it. I hope the steelworkers eventually brought in wring every goddamn penny they can take from both states. But it's gonna be guys getting offered <$15/hr to dangle over the river on 1099 contracts at first, because it's the South and gently caress you for trying to get ahead.

Personally, kinda looking forward to it falling in the river, but my hate for Tennessee grows stronger every year. Arkansas can suck it for giving us Walmart.

As I sit here in Mississippi planning my return drive to KC, I'm wondering what would be the least annoying way home. The most direct route is through Memphis, goddamn bridge.

Can someone please remind Cruz he's so spineless he let the president bag on his wife?

Or that he fled the country over a power outage

Gaetz might actually be down for Lee Harvey Oswald since he shot a liberal
