Not really unsafe because traffic around the signal is at full stop or dead slow. |
Makes sense, as it should to the gendarmes for whom we are actually helping 'pack' more traffic into a given square foot, thereby making it slightly more efficient if not actually safer.
But people do crazy things. I take a right off the airport road heading onto Wind Tunnel Road. People on my left- often packed 3 vehicles deep- also in-my-very-bulging-lane, turn right BUT also take a U-turn right in front of my snout- effectively overtaking me on the left and cutting across my line. Drives me bananas. |
