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:
Is there such a thing in the US?
Is there such a thing in the US?
Yeah.
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.
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?
Oh, I was always told the yellow signs are suggestions
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”
It’s a detour…you have to drive through the bush.
Florida. No other explanation needed.
For real. It’s not even the dumbest shit I’ve seen today.
I overheard someone in a court house trying to argue with who I assumed was their assigned counsel that it’s totally legal to enter on an off ramp, as long as you’re going in reverse.
Gators?
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
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 AM RENT A CAR run by I. M. Weasel.
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.
Only if GPS tells you to.
Seems the mildly infuriating part is the left out information.
Yeah, there’s something left of frame.
Probably sasquatch
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.
This, lades and gentlemen, is the negro ticketing trap.
Alright nervous as I am to ask, what does this mean?
many signs should really be treated as suggestions. so many roads here with zero fucking business being 35 here

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.

I understand the intent from your graphic, but given the signage, I would not have known what they expected of me.
someguy3@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
The painting on the road should indicate a 45° left instead of 90° left.
Decoy321@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Or just have the sign arrow be more than 90°
