Youngeyes Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'm so glad that my town's traffic control people put up this sign. It takes the guess work out of which way to go at this intersection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevoWood123 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) They just put up a interstate style sign like this near me. I was driving through the area tonight and I hadn't been that way in a while (road construction, ugh). They put roundabouts in that semi connect, either way the roadsign did absolutely nothing to help the confusing road situation. Edited: the roundabouts are off that exit, not the interstate itself. Thought that could use clarification. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited October 27, 2015 by RevoWood123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The sign looks like a new target I got for practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copecowboy22 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 We don't have those in Texas. I was coming back from SS Nats this year and got off for fuel somewhere in Missouri and ended up going the wrong way on of those. I wondered why everyone was looking at me funny then I saw the sign on the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPatton Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) There used to be a sign on one of the interstates running through Charlotte NC that read "16 South, Northwest Freeway East". Edited November 26, 2015 by RPatton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 What Hi-Power Jack said. But it's probably one of those damned "roundabout" things. I loathe them. And their signs, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copecowboy22 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 We "procured" a 10 1/2 mph sign in central Oklahoma when I was in college. I've got a pic somewhere but it's not digital. It was out the backdoor of the local police station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Those traffic circles in England are a little strange to a non-native. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Those traffic circles in England are a little strange to a non-native. I spent a couple weeks over there. After about the first week, I adapted to the right hand drive world and really came to appreciate the traffic circles. I drove from Rochester to Portsmouth with never having to come to a complete stop! About 100 miles! I really resented stop lights/signs after that... https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Portsmouth,+UK/Rochester,+Medway,+UK/@51.1444465,-0.8505194,9z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x487442a41814f1e9:0x45b683ea03373b79!2m2!1d-1.0879769!2d50.8197675!1m5!1m1!1s0x47d8c92a6d7a7131:0x1c7ffc1683e563f4!2m2!1d0.506721!2d51.388 The other challenge was learning to shift with my left hand! I forgot that rental cars defaulted to "standard" transmissions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 The US Virgin Islands drive on the left side of the road...with the same vehicles we do. The driver is not near the middle of the road, but the road side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckS Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 The US Virgin Islands drive on the left side of the road...with the same vehicles we do. The driver is not near the middle of the road, but the road side. The first time I encountered that was in Bermuda (Thanks, Navy). We were on mopeds mostly. I don't remember any real drama except for remembering the correct entry to a traffic circle. A guy on Grand Cayman told me that the tell tale sign of a newly arrived yank was them signaling turns with the windshield wipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 There is one roundabout locally near where I live in Florida and it is a crash magnet (of course, crashes happen all the time here for seemingly no reason whatsoever) Nobody in Florida knows what to do with one so it is basically a free for all. I've even seen people stop and back up in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had great fun squirting though it in the Boxster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm iprod Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Go to France or Italy Multilane Traffic Circles and Italian drivers. You will need blood pressure tablets until you figure out, two hands on the wheel, indicators are useless, right foot poised on the gas to go like hell and just don't look back. Remember small cars can bounce. Works in the USA too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I despise traffic circles/roundabouts. Dang things should be outlawed. Roundabouts are far safer than standard intersections. Studies show they reduce injury crashes by 75%. There is a great book titled "Traffic" by Tom Vanderbuilt that is well worth a read. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
