Apart from what some commenters already pointed out (about the orientation of the roads there), I’m not sure how it’s going in the US, but in Europe, we have a hierarchy, where the sign on a pole takes precedence over the sign painted on the road.
The hierarchy is:
- Police officer’s hand signs
- Traffic lights
- Signs on a pole
- Signs painted on the road
According to this, you cannot turn left, even though it looks like a left turning lane.
Is there such a thing in the US?
Is there such a thing in the US?
Yeah.
- Whatever the heck I want, because “ma freedom”
- Police officer’s hand signs
- Traffic lights
- Signs on a pole
- Signs painted on the road
in Europe, we have a hierarchy
This is definitely not true for all of Europe. In Germany, for instance, signs on roads have equal precedence to signs on poles.
What do you do if they contradict?
Sit there untill either the sign or the paint fade away
Here in Finland we just wait for snow, then you can’t see the painted one.
Which is why it was such a great idea to replace our solid “you can’t pass here” lines from their old bright yellow to EU matching white so that that self driving cars understand them correctly. So now during the winter both of us and the machines can’t see them equally well.
That’s the neat part: They don’t. At least I have never seen confusing signage/markings.
You sure have a lot of faith in people.
In Germany we actually test people before we let them drive cars. If you’re from the US, this concept might be unfamiliar :D
This has nothing to do with the drivers, and more to do with municipal workers putting up signage.
Lately the trend is for temporary signs to have yellow background instead of white. So if you see road construction you’ll see a yellow background sign.
Orange you sure that construction signs shouldn’t be a different color?
Yes, not yellow, not sure what I was talking about.
Sometimes construction makes for unexpected detours.
(I should probably mention that it’s also a dead end road, so no backing out)
They really said “fuck that house in particular!”
Gotta jump that roof like a ramp
The guy that owns that white car already fell into this trap and got stuck, said screw it, parked, and just moved into the house.
that’s the sign for “make a new friend in a yellow house with red shingles”
Florida. No other explanation needed.
For real. It’s not even the dumbest shit I’ve seen today. Someone missed an entrance onto i95, so they drove up the offramp intended for the opposite direction. Got 50ft before an oncoming car made them realize their mistake.
Gators?
Gators could design better roads. Don’t insult the gators.
I know, gators are smart.
It’s a detour…you have to drive through the bush.
Hi neighbor … we should really make /c/miami
I’m surprised it doesn’t already exist. Do you want the honors? I already mod a few groups here, I can easily help with that too.
Do eet! I don’t have the time to run ANOTHER community
Dale. I’ll figure that out once I’m off work later.
I knew it. I said “I’ve only seen road design this bad in one so-called state.”
Miami dade exists in it’s own state separate from Florida …
a state of chaos (and it’s constant)
I’ll join
That’s Miami. Nobody pays attention to street signs anyway.
Exactly. I assume that’s why they didn’t bother doing the proper signage.
Pa la pinga.
So just… Detour through the hedge?
I just did the same thing. No left turn onto Oakwood Dr.
I AM RENT A CAR run by I. M. Weasel.
For me I’m hearing it to the tune of the black sabbath song.
Has he lost his keys?
Can he buy or is it leased?
Can he drive at all
If he moves, maybe uhaul?
That is such a bad road design. So basically if you want to turn left you have to cut through bigger road and leave it immediately.
You can’t, there’s a do not enter sign on the other side.
Time to levitate. But there’s probably a TFR in effect.
Seems the mildly infuriating part is the left out information.
Yeah, there’s something left of frame.
Makes perfect sense to me. Sign on a pole takes precedence over sign on road.
The Detour sign says that you should go through the ‘Do Not Enter’…
Full speed ahead!
Auditor trap.
many signs should really be treated as suggestions. so many roads here with zero fucking business being 35 here

Alright nervous as I am to ask, what does this mean?
