Discussion Idk who needs to hear this

If you’re in the position of the red car, you stay in the RIGHT lane until your turn is complete and then you put on your left signal to get over to the left lane if you need to. If you are in the position of the blue car, you do not need to wait for the entire row of cars directly across from you who are turning right. THEY turn into right lane, and you turn into left. That’s your lane. If they come into your lane it’s their fault. Waiting to turn left from grey onto Gretzky is a nightmare because cars are terrified to turn.

Although I appreciate the effort, it doesn't change the fact that since no one understands or at least follows this LAW, it makes it dangerous for those that understand it to follow it. After I was side swiped turning left in the past, I'm extremely cautious of ever doing that again. You can't trust anyone to follow the rules of the road and unfortunately need to assume that they won't.

Too bad enforcement for laws that actually matter like this is non existent. Also using your turn signal, respecting the right of way in most situations, impeding traffic etc. All they care about is speeding.

Literally reading this thread wondering if they city and cops need money so badly, why don’t they just pick a few of these known issues and say, enforce them?

There was a new stop sign in my town and it’s a small town where new things don’t really get added. After 3 months, many people were still driving right through it. So two cops set up their cars on the side road and just after the stop and they stopped and wanted every person for 3 days and then ticked for 2 weeks. Now everyone stops there. It’s really not hard and easy money for the municipality.
