Looks to me like just bad driving and a refusal to watch for traffic

I don’t see anything wrong with this design, it’s just missing the “no left turns” sign (or it’s being ignored).

I have a forked road like this near where I live, where OpenMaps gave illegal directions and I was able to submit a bug report tha left turns are not allowed

The best part is the dude who gets off the bus in the middle of the road.

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago

I am gonna guess it was supposed to be one way road which was turned into 2 way by just planting some sticks in the middle. The funds allotted to work was probably pocketed for another couple luxury SUV.

Never thought I'd see the words "Uttar Pradesh" on the fediverse.... For the unknown- Uttar Pradesh is the Ohio of India. A lot of weird and bizzare shit happen there.

[–] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 hours ago

But isn't Taj Mahal located there?

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I'm from Mumbai and you can't pay me enough to visit Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, or Jharkhand.

[–] BubblyRomeo@piefed.zip 4 points 7 hours ago

Well, Mumbai is the top metropolitan city in India. It makes sense you don't want to visit Uttar Pradesh or any the other "hell states". And, If you live in South Mumbai, you're probably part of the top 1% or 5% of the country. So yeah, it makes sense overall.

I quickly went through your profile and saw you frequently post about U.S politics. May I ask why? I don't mean to come as offensive, I'm just really curious. Have you immigrated or are you an international student?

Uttar Pradesh is the Ohio of India

Incorrect. Uttar Pradesh is the Florida of India. If you hear of some fucked-up shit happening in India there's a 50/50 chance it's in Uttar Pradesh.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 22 hours ago

Uttar Pradesh Man is Florida Man's Indian cousin.

I remember reading some COVID-related news from there, though that wasn't on the fediverse because I wasn't on the fediverse yet at the time.

[–] destructdisc@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That news was likely the mass cremations of people who died of COVID. Uttar Pradesh had one of the highest mortality rates in the country in the wake of the pandemic. A lot of them were low-income folk who died on the way to (or right outside) public hospitals that refused to accept them due to overcrowding, lack of equipment and supplemental oxygen, and gross mismanagement

Ohio of India

Oh...oh no... Containment has been breached, Ohio is spreading.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I like that it's Ohio, but not quite Florida.

  1. I was sure the bike was going to get hit by the first bus.
  2. A man just stepped off the bus in the middle is everything.

  1. Where is the pedestrian crossing on the left meant to be going?
[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

A man just stepped off the bus in the middle is everything.

Railway tickets in India have 'do not (de)board a moving train' on the back in very large letters. This is why. (Trains usually slow down at stations even if they aren't stopping there.)

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

off the bus in the middle is everything.

That's what some people refer to as a bus stop.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The bus didn’t stop though. He just hopped off while it was slowed down.

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 4 points 1 day ago

Imagine it had to actually stop there lol

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The absolute fearlessness of the bus drivers 😭

holy shit

[–] aphonefriend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 23 hours ago

The drivers? How bout that guy who just popped out mid turn and kept walking lol.
