2932: "Driving PSA"

Post by ratammer »

Image
Title text: This PSA brought to you by several would-be assassins who tried to wave me in front of speeding cars in the last month and who will have to try harder next time.

I always have to briefly rewire my brain when I see driving diagrams from countries where you drive on the right. And I don't even drive!

If you ask me, this is just bad road design, there's loads of space there for an acceleration lane so traffic turning left from the minor road doesn't have to turn into through traffic

You can't tell from the picture, but I also changed the truck into a lorry.

Why not just hang a left onto the empty road?

Because then you'd be driving on the wrong side of the road, and might get hit by a car going the other way.
