Send halp! Im drowning in socialism

2018-10-30 22:08:59 UTC  

Am I talking about socialism?

2018-10-30 22:09:01 UTC  

Send some american freedom and liberty

2018-10-30 22:09:30 UTC  

You all talk so fast some things go right over my head

2018-10-30 22:10:20 UTC  

@Grenade123 you must be in NJ. I've seen more roundabouts personally. Usually we tend to have streetlights or overpasses in my experience.

2018-10-30 22:10:27 UTC  

Where are you, 4AM?

2018-10-30 22:10:34 UTC  

I have yet to have the pleasure to visit Florida

2018-10-30 22:10:55 UTC  

The country about to go to war with Iran

2018-10-30 22:10:59 UTC  

god I love florida

2018-10-30 22:11:06 UTC  

Itโ€™s definitely different. I grew up around DC

2018-10-30 22:11:07 UTC  

@pratel I grew up there yes. Jug handles give it away?

2018-10-30 22:11:19 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-10-30 22:11:33 UTC  

What are jug handles?

2018-10-30 22:11:46 UTC  

Some weird NJ thing that not even other Americans understand.

2018-10-30 22:12:01 UTC  

Biker things?

2018-10-30 22:12:14 UTC  

@4AM_critter ๐Ÿ‰ you know American liberty and freedom are actually the name of our bomber fleets right?

2018-10-30 22:12:42 UTC  

That's what we bring when we say we are bringing library or freedom

2018-10-30 22:12:55 UTC  

Send them @Grenade123 I pop smoke at the socialist nests

2018-10-30 22:14:21 UTC  

@CallMeBlondie if you want something really weird. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_left

I've never met anyone who's driven one. But it sure seems odd.

2018-10-30 22:15:12 UTC  

Oh my lord! I would be so confused! And so would all the old people

2018-10-30 22:15:27 UTC  

Not that Iโ€™m one of the old people

2018-10-30 22:15:40 UTC  

Nice, we just got one of those in my town, a Michigan Left

2018-10-30 22:17:26 UTC  

@pratel it's not that weird. Designers just figured it was a better idea to have everyone at a traffic light either be stopped or going, rather than have a line of traffic stopped dead in one lane while the two lands next to it pass by at like 50 mph

2018-10-30 22:17:41 UTC  

Sure. But it's a rather confusing way to make a left.

2018-10-30 22:18:00 UTC  

Not really, it's like taking a left from a highway

2018-10-30 22:18:13 UTC  

You have to get off at your exit

2018-10-30 22:18:18 UTC  

Also, @CallMeBlondie Forgot to give you the link for the jughandle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jughandle

2018-10-30 22:19:31 UTC  

Thank you! I donโ€™t even want to tell you what I thought it was.

2018-10-30 22:20:13 UTC  

Iโ€™m sure once you drive these new exits or whatever they are... theyโ€™re much easier than explaining them on Wikipedia

2018-10-30 22:21:29 UTC  

The Michigan left seems to be for people who missed their turn. Or maybe it works better for trucks

2018-10-30 22:22:06 UTC  

I definitely donโ€™t drive a truck

2018-10-30 22:22:58 UTC  

The jug handle is just like exiting a freeway or motorway, and its also great if you are confused with the area and don't know if you are taking a left or right up ahead. You can be in the right hand lane and go either way.

2018-10-30 22:23:40 UTC  

Roundabouts work when people know how to use them, but it required paying attention so people don't.

2018-10-30 22:24:57 UTC  

I dunno, you can circle the drain for a couple hours and you'll figure it out eventually.

2018-10-30 22:25:27 UTC  

What I find most perplexing is the new uncontrolled intersections.

2018-10-30 22:27:19 UTC  

Thank you @Grenade123

2018-10-30 22:28:00 UTC  

Now imagine explaining that in a script on tv. Not very easy

2018-10-30 22:35:23 UTC  

@pratel think the idea is that people focus more on driving than on things off the road or right in front of them. Also general those intersections are using psychology to make you drive slower

2018-10-30 22:35:33 UTC  

Like pillars right against the edges

2018-10-30 22:45:04 UTC  

I would never suggest that what works in another country would work here in the US totally unchanged

2018-10-30 22:45:22 UTC  

But it does provide useful data that can guide rational decision making
