Am I the only one deeply irritated that the left going lane has no arrows and no one is indicating left either?
This intersection really hurts my sense of order!

Just one more lane bro! That'll get rid of the traffic bro!

Inaccurate. It's two cars with 1.5 car lengths in front of each.

Man, I could have saved like ten, or even fifteen seconds if the infrastructure was bigger.

Even more annoying is when the green car leaves 2+ car lengths in front of it so the car behind can't get into the turn lane if they need to.

More accurately...you're the gray car wanting to turn right, but there is about 1/2-1/3 full car length in-between the black-green-white cars blocking the lane.

Prime candidate for a roundabout conversion.

Canada, in a single image? I've driven cars in most European countries, Canada, US (small amount), Mexico.

Canada has the worst road designs of them all, though since almost everything here is modelled after the US, I guess it could still be worse there

I regularly see road situations where I can only wonder how high they were, what they were smoking, and where I can get some

Intersections where only one lane has traffic lights, the other doesn't. How are you supposed to cross that? Simple: you throw a hail Mary, close your eyes, andale a run for it while praying to some non-exist God. This is howy stepson got sideswiped, by a guy having to do exactly that.

Making a left turn in Canada? Great, you got green! Go? Well no, cars are still coming from the other side, they inexplicably got green too so now the intersection with traffic lights also acts as an intersection without traffic lights. Amazing designs!

But wait, there is more!

Once those cars from the other side are gone, you might be tempted to think that you can now just drive, but noooooooh, this is Canada! Pedestrians also got green so now you need to try and avoid those too if you can. The amount of near misses that I've had and that I've seen with others is staggering, crossing roads in Canada is fucking dangerous.

All this adds up to that going left basically means that you get green light and you can't do shit until it gets orange, then you quickly squeeze yourself through and pray that you didn't murder a school class by accident.

This, in turn, means that going to the left is an exercise in patience, because each green red cycle, about one car will be able to go to the left. If each cycle takes a minute, and you have ten cars in front of you, that means you'll have to wait ten minutes I shit you not.

Compare that to the Netherlands, where intersections get redesigned and rebuilt every time when anyone sees there are tooany accidents, and there are soany amazing traffic flow control designs there. Here in canada, traffic flow designs is "road, done"

I love Canada, I feel proudly Canadian, but Canadian road designs are removed as fuck.

I once got stuck in a bus like this. I was 20 minutes early for my connection. I missed my connection.

There are two intersections like the right panel (but for left turns) on my route home from work and they are perpetually red (heavy traffic) on my navigation.

This feels like an analogy for bike lanes.

I was at a traffic light with my support worker a few weeks ago, and this dumb fuck wasn’t on the sensor. He was sitting there for like ten minutes and wouldn’t move forward. My sw got out of that lane and went a different way. When we came back a couple mins later he was still there!

As an aside, are there real L-shaped traffic light stacks? I've always seen them with the arrow at the bottom. The direction of the arrow makes it perfectly understandable without putting it off to the side. But I could imagine a traffic light company marketing these.

In my experience the turn lane doesn’t have a hard cutoff like that, you can usually ride the shoulder a bit to get around people if needed

Where exactly are those cars heading? There's no road forward and only one lane to the right.

This is why commuting on a motorcycle is so nice. In this situation I'd just filter through the cars and into the turn lane.

Is that right-angle traffic light a common thing? I've never seen one like that before.

This would be much less of a problem if fewer people insisted on bringing their whole living room everywhere they go.

Here in 'Merika, it would only take two cars to block the turning lane, because half of these morons are oblivious and/or on their goddam phones.
