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:

  1. Police officer's hand signs
  2. Traffic lights
  3. Signs on a pole
  4. Signs painted on the road

According to this, you cannot turn left, even though it looks like a left turning lane.

Is there such a thing in the US?

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 32 points 2 years ago

Is there such a thing in the US?

Yeah.

  1. Whatever the heck I want, because "ma freedom"
  2. Police officer's hand signs
  3. Traffic lights
  4. Signs on a pole
  5. Signs painted on the road

This is definitely not true for all of Europe. In Germany, for instance, signs on roads have equal precedence to signs on poles.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What do you do if they contradict?

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sit there untill either the sign or the paint fade away

[–] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Here in Finland we just wait for snow, then you can't see the painted one.

Which is why it was such a great idea to replace our solid "you can't pass here" lines from their old bright yellow to EU matching white so that that self driving cars understand them correctly. So now during the winter both of us and the machines can't see them equally well.

[–] bleistift2@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s the neat part: They don’t. At least I have never seen confusing signage/markings.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You sure have a lot of faith in people.

[–] bleistift2@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In Germany we actually test people before we let them drive cars. If you’re from the US, this concept might be unfamiliar :D

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

This has nothing to do with the drivers, and more to do with municipal workers putting up signage.

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Orange you sure that construction signs shouldn't be a different color?

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, not yellow, not sure what I was talking about.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 33 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Sometimes construction makes for unexpected detours.

(I should probably mention that it's also a dead end road, so no backing out)

[–] Octopus1348@thelemmy.club 18 points 2 years ago

They really said "fuck that house in particular!"

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gotta jump that roof like a ramp

[–] lemmegogo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

that's the sign for "make a new friend in a yellow house with red shingles"

[–] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

It’s a detour…you have to drive through the bush.

[–] vivadanang@lemm.ee 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Florida. No other explanation needed.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For real. It's not even the dumbest shit I've seen today. Someone missed an entrance onto i95, so they drove up the offramp intended for the opposite direction. Got 50ft before an oncoming car made them realize their mistake.

Gators could design better roads. Don’t insult the gators.

Hi neighbor .... we should really make /c/miami

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do eet! I don't have the time to run ANOTHER community

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Dale. I'll figure that out once I'm off work later.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I knew it. I said "I've only seen road design this bad in one so-called state."

[–] EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Miami dade exists in it's own state separate from Florida ....

a state of chaos (and it's constant)

[–] spader312@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's Miami. Nobody pays attention to street signs anyway.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Exactly. I assume that's why they didn't bother doing the proper signage.

Pa la pinga.

[–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So just... Detour through the hedge?

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I just did the same thing. No left turn onto Oakwood Dr.

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I AM RENT A CAR run by I. M. Weasel.

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For me I'm hearing it to the tune of the black sabbath song.

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Has he lost his keys?
Can he buy or is it leased?
Can he drive at all
If he moves, maybe uhaul?

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Early_Insurance_3334@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can't, there's a do not enter sign on the other side.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 points 2 years ago

Time to levitate. But there's probably a TFR in effect.

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Seems the mildly infuriating part is the left out information.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah, there's something left of frame.

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Makes perfect sense to me. Sign on a pole takes precedence over sign on road.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Detour sign says that you should go through the 'Do Not Enter'....

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Full speed ahead!

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Auditor trap.
