I'm pretty sure it's saying you can't turn left onto the road to the left of the intersection. Looks like some pretty bad road design.

    I'm gonna say it's easy when the street names are in the photo.

    Easier, definitely. And a unique street name. But it's quite hard to read the cross street name. All I can see is the "E DR" at the end. I probably wouldn't have bothered from just seeing the one street and no other text.

    I understand the intent from your graphic, but given the signage, I would not have known what they expected of me.

    The painting on the road should indicate a 45° left instead of 90° left.

    You're absolutely correct. I just thought it made for a funny photo. It's very on brand for this city to do dumb shit like this.

    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.

    Is there such a thing in the US?

    Yeah.

    1. Whatever the heck I want, because "ma freedom"
    2. Police officer's hand signs
    3. Traffic lights
    4. Signs on a pole
    5. Signs painted on the road

    Sometimes construction makes for unexpected detours.

    (I should probably mention that it's also a dead end road, so no backing out)

    It’s a detour…you have to drive through the bush.

    I'm surprised it doesn't already exist. Do you want the honors? I already mod a few groups here, I can easily help with that too.

    That's Miami. Nobody pays attention to street signs anyway.

    So just... Detour through the hedge?

    I just did the same thing. No left turn onto Oakwood Dr.

    Seems the mildly infuriating part is the left out information.

    Makes perfect sense to me. Sign on a pole takes precedence over sign on road.

    The Detour sign says that you should go through the 'Do Not Enter'....
