Sorry, it's too hard to make that tight of a turn when one of my hands is clutching my fourth nip of the morning

Kid I dunno why they don’t just have Fireball at the DMV you know

Next we need a guide for how to turn to enter a busy road when there is a center lane available

Hell we need the one for how to turn off the busy road using the center turning lane.

SausageSmuggler21 t1_jawh6j2 wrote

No one here is advanced enough for center lane usage. They're still learning " don't reverse on the highway".

Yeah, with all the multi-lane turns in RI, you're gonna need a better diagram. The goal is to stay in the lane you started from. I don't know how many times I've pulled out of the Chapel View plaza and people think they're in the right to turn into me in the middle lane as both lanes turn left.

There’s a two-lane left turn onto Smithfield Ave from Silver Spring St in Providence (right next to where the Cellos is) I take at night with some regularity. I’ve stopped using that far left lane to make the turn because so many people have cut me off, or come close to hitting me from them failing to maintain their lane and drifting from the right lane into the left.

Cherry on top is that I’ve had more than 1 person get pissy after honking my horn to prevent from getting hit by them over there. People honking back at me as if I was supposed to read their minds that they were planning on nearly driving into me or cutting me off.

Let's start with actually stopping at stop signs.

Fr 😂 it's nuts when someone will drive exactly the speed limit then roll straight through the stop sign

I am going to make you sad here.

Mario retired more than 40 years ago my fellow old person. :D

First things first: learn how to accelerate to highway speed before merging into traffic. Or, at least, don’t stop at the end of the entrance ramp.

My oh my ... the number of drivers that cannot merge here is unbelievable.

Related: if you're in the breakdown line trying to get back into traffic... don't just fucking pull out from a dead stop

citrus_mystic t1_jaysm5g wrote

When people do this I end up acting like a total asshole by flashing my high beams and honking. It’s scary and infuriating being stuck behind someone who’s afraid to go faster than 35mph when you need to join the other traffic going 55.

Then merge, after you turn...

Not in RI. Here you can do what you want. Think of it as being the red or green car. Heck you can even choose other lanes without arrows to go to here if you try hard. /s

The double right turn onto the highways on Francis St at Providence Place is a constant near accident as people can't comprehend this

techsavior t1_javqcp0 wrote

It’s not that they can’t comprehend this. It’s that they have can’t plan for shit and start in the wrong turn lane to begin with.

This diagram is missing the red car turning left into the blue cars correct left lane

lfp_pounder t1_jaxejcy wrote

What if you have to take a left and immediately take a right on the next lane? can I take a left and stop if no one gives me way until I can shift lanes?… I ain’t driving 5miles to go all the way and come back just so I don’t “inconvenience” the driver behind me.

Turning right on to Pontiac ave is a nightmare during the commute home from Socanosset.. thats the only place ill turn right into the left lane because the right lane is always completely full and I refuse to wait for another light cycle lol.

How about teaching use of speed limits.

JasonDJ t1_jawomq1 wrote

Cool.

Please explain this intersection for the commuters into Cambridge. They come in from the ramp at the bottom right.

The left turn can be impossible to make depending on what car you drive and how far forward the guy in the next lane is.

Seeing as though they like to put a business at every intersection in RI I'm not getting in the inner lane just to hop over real quick...

Oh hell. I see this happen multiple times a day. Drives me insane.

Cool now do one for when turning in a median space where what your actually supposed to do is go to the far end not turn as soon as you get to the break. Idk how to say this. Does anyone know what i mean?

🤣 I’ve only ever had an issue with that in RI thanks for the giggle.

appslap t1_jaxmi6l wrote

I hit a light all the time that starts as 1 lane, then you turn left into 2 lanes, and I go wide right. It feels wrong but since im the first car in a single lane that’s ok 🤷🏻‍♂️

Isn't that left hand turn supposed to cut across the oncoming lane and across the double yellow before eventually ending up in the right hand lane?

This doesn’t apply to people in lifted F-150 pickups. They need to get home as fast as possible to kiss their father on the lips.
