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.

    That, to me, looks like an intersection I would never want to turn left on in the first place in anything but the most deserted area.

      Which is the delusion that the US’s traffic engineers based all of their decisions on 60 years ago.

      “This’ll be fine hardly anybody lives out here”

        It’s compounded by the delusion that the US’s traffic engineers base all of their decisions on now.

        “It’ll be fine, it’s been here for 60 years.”

        It doesn’t work when nobody lives around either.

        The only way this can work is if both all cars are from the 30s, only able to move at 50 km/h, and nobody lives around.

        Yeah this is the only legal way to turn left in a road with a median like this in michigan. You have to turn right to turn left.
