I understand the intent from your graphic, but given the signage, I would not have known what they expected of me.
Comment on No turning left on this left turn only lane.

I’m pretty sure it’s saying you can’t turn left onto the road to the left of the intersection. Looks like some pretty bad road design.

The painting on the road should indicate a 45° left instead of 90° left.

You’re absolutely correct. I just thought it made for a funny photo. It’s very on brand for this city to do dumb shit like this.

I’ve been confused and made dangerous choices in traffic for less stupid reasons. Not trying to deflect all blame but considering the lowest common denominator, road construction and signs really need to pay much more attention to the limits of the human brain.
Half of us have an IQ below 100 and we could be driving in darkness, with rain pouring down and facing traffic that shines its headlights into our eyes. The road needs to have an affordance that suggests to the driver how to drive correctly, instead of causing confusion when you already have a lot of traffic to keep track of

Bad road design for sure, but the sign still could be better. For example they could make a custom sign, draw the intersection and mark explicitly that you can’t turn to Oakwood.

Or just have the sign arrow be more than 90°

I’m gonna say it’s easy when the street names are in the photo.
andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 7 months ago
Easier, definitely. And a unique street name. But it’s quite hard to read the cross street name. All I can see is the e at the end. I probably wouldn’t have bothered from just seeing the one street and no other text.

I got lucky with Google Maps highlighting the apartment building in the background as a POI to match up with.

Atlanta and Peachtree Rd/Ln/Dr/Ave/Way/Plaza/literally 65 more variations of this say hello.

I think it makes giving directions easier. Everything in this town is ‘just off Peachtree’
