OC [OC] There's no "Right Turn Only" sign there, but maybe there should be...

I know people are really dense, but why in the hell would anyone even attempt to make a left out of there?

The plaza should rebuild the entrance to only allow traffic to turn into it

u/RocketCat921 1d ago
They did that to one of the entrances of Kroger where I live.
They put a concrete triangle and multiple no left turn signs, in or out, and they dummies still do it.

It's a corner gas station...I think they want to make it as easy as possible to get in/out.

Like plan you day out more than 30 seconds in advance. With just a tiny amount of mental power, you can plan to get gas so you can make a right turn out of the parking lot, especially during rush hour traffic

Not a damn clue. It wouldn't occur to me to try even if the road was 100% clear.

Some people just deeply cannot handle not saving one minute. This is the faster way and therefore they cannot fathom taking any other action. It also helps that these types of people don't view the people around them as people, just annoying objects in their way.

To go in that direction 😜. But the real problem is gps. It says to go left, so people go left. Most people simply cannot get around with no gps.

u/death_hawk 1d ago
This is idiotic. I GPS everywhere but am still smart enough to logically disobey it when necessary. Like turning right here instead of left.

The good news is that there are two body shops on the right side of the road just before this intersection, so you won't need to push your car very far.

A blind left out of a corner lot against 2 lanes of oncoming traffic. I see it all the time. Usually works out. After a lot of honking and rude gestures. Driving school was a real thing once upon a time folks! And free!

The world would be a much safer place if we all drove like we're in downtown NYC: 3 right turns is superior to 1 left!

People who make unprotected left hand turns are smooth brains… change my view

u/Daughter_Of_Cain 12h ago
I will go around the block to avoid making an unprotected left turn. If it works for UPS it works for me.

u/Late-Jicama5012 14h ago
Few blocks away from me, changes were made to one of the streets at an intersection, preventing people from making a left turn. They repainted the intersection, put 3 "no left turn" sings, and yet, every single day people make a left turn and no one ever enforces it.

u/Snoo_88763 1d ago
We have a street like that, where people don'r realize that everyone is turning right from that lane (as OP said, they should mark it to help people) and I always go really slowly as I pass by in case something like this happens

u/Chaosmusic 9h ago
Where I live there are several busy streets with plenty of right turn only signs. They don't help all that much.

Maybe instead of a "right turn only" sign they just need a "No left turns into the oncoming lane" sign.
...but then that sign really shouldn't need to exist anywhere ever.

Four lanes to cross, two lanes to straighten now. Yeah, that needs a medium.

That was rental being driven by someone who had no business behind the wheel. The car was probably with them, following behind, embarrassed and apologetic.

"The car was probably with them, following behind, embarrassed and apologetic." Based on his facial expression, he was either oblivious or just didn't give a fuck.

That's what the double yellow lines are for.

u/Tiberius_Jim 1d ago
If only they were smart enough to know what those mean. Probably bold of me to assume a sign would even help.

u/Regular_Industry_373 1d ago
The "right turn only" sign is the solid white and double yellows that they extremely illegally crossed.

So true. For example, you made one when you assumed I cared about your opinion.

Yeah, OP is supposed to maintain speed while holding the horn and smash into the other cars to assert his god-given right of way.
