It's very on brand for this city to do dumb shit like this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) I've been confused and made dangerous choices in traffic for less stupid reasons. Not trying to deflect all blame but considering the lowest common denominator, road construction and signs really need to pay much more attention to the limits of the human brain. Half of us have an IQ below 100 and we could be driving in darkness, with rain pouring down and facing traffic that shines its headlights into our eyes. The road needs to have an affordance that suggests to the driver how to drive correctly, instead of causing confusion when you already have a lot of traffic to keep track of. permalink fedilink source parent
