So posting literal reddit screenshots is considered top tier content on the number one reddit alternative. Good stuff.

Just needs another “you can just do stuff” on top of it. We’ll be Facebook yet!

I spent a weekend just filling all the potholes on my road. It wasn’t that expensive and it didn’t take long either. Turns out you can just do what you want

Now that's what I call first world anarchy

My great grandma had a similar story, the bus stop was in front of my grandparent's bedroom, they hated that people would gather in their bedroom window. she asked for the stop to be moved a few meters down the road, so it is between the houses and not in front of it. the municipality denied her.

Until that point the bus stop was nothing but a sign, she heard that they were going to remove it and install a proper bus stop with a bench and shade.

She asked the city build it a few meters down, still nothing.

the night before they began construction, my great grandma just moved the sign to where she wanted it. they built the bus stop where the sign was, and today, that bus stop is still where she wanted it to. Possibly until perpetuity

Possibility: They know it’s in the wrong spot. They don’t know why. So they figure someone screwed up, they don’t know who, but they don’t want it to be them or their department. So nobody says anything, and the stop remains unchanged.

Did you know you can just rent a line painting tool and buy a high vis vest and hard hat?

You can just get all the things you need to make a bike lane.

Nobody will question you.

Be the change.

Hi-vis vest, hardhat, and a clipboard(optional but stylish). You can do practically anything.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

And if you have a ladder employees will literally hold the door open for you

Just don't get caught.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Unfortunately people just park on bike lanes, so there's no good damn point.

Remember that guy that made that highway exit sign in California? https://youtu.be/26-4oARwfF4

One of my favorite modern day quotes recently has been:

"People really do be using their free will out here."

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

98% of the population believes everything they're told and obeys all the rules. It's that 2% you need to watch.

Are people really praising this? I guess fuck the engineers who did a traffic study, and fuck the school children walking in that area from 7-7:30 I guess.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 90 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Just because a traffic engineer has qualifications doesn't necessarily guarantee they're not an asshole who is wrong and also sucks.

What a savage

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 176 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (18 children)

I wonder what problem the original sign addressed. Because forbidding turning right for 2 ½ hours every morning sounds extremely specific, and sounds like one neighbor in particular had some beef with another or something, and got the city to put up the sign.

And maybe that neighbor left, or whichever problem was being addressed didn't exist anymore.

I know that's a thing because a long time ago, we had a "15mph - blind children at play" sign in our street, until someone pointed out that the blind child in question was now an adult and had moved out years ago, and the sign was just annoying everybody for nothing 🙂

In other words, the guy might have replaced a useless sign with another, equally useless one on his own dime. Maybe he could simply have called the city to wonder what the sign was for, and possibly have it reviewed and removed altogether.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 187 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Given the original sign covered 7-9.30am seems like it's to prevent people cutting across traffic during peak commuting time either to prevent accidents or improve the flow of traffic.

There is a guy down the road that used to have someone riding down his street with a loud muffler and blaring music trying to hyped up for work every morning around 8:30 So instead of putting a sign up that said no turn between 8-9, he figured if he put up a sign that said 7-9:30 it would seem specific and no one would question it. They would all think it was curated by engineers and traffic studies. Nah, dude just wanted to sleep in because he worked nights.
