Take this:
I wonder how long you could drive on this before anyone realised you were just going around in circles?
All I know is that a simple 4-way stop, with multiple lanes in all directions, has an effort:chaos ratio that is off the charts. No need for multi-million-dollar engineering projects.
4-way stops are an American abomination. One street really ought to have right of way, otherwise it would be a small roundabout.
I can happily say I have never been exposed to a 4-way stop in Australia.
You’re lucky. They’re well-intended, but really awful. You’re supposed to traverse the intersection in the order you arrive. All it takes is for one jackass to waive* their right of way, or run the intersection, and the other three drivers are thrown into disarray. Add multiple lanes to this and, well… good luck everyone!
* Often literally waving at you to go. Through the intersection. At the wrong time.
* Often literally waving at you to go. Through the intersection. At the wrong time.
I feel your pain so deeply on this point. This part is universal, people trying to be “nice” don’t understand that rules exist to make things run smoothly.
My poor soul requires rules be followed, and changed when they no longer make sense.
My deepest condolences that you have a road design that compounds this further.
I bet 4-way stops are a joy for pedestrians also haha
Chongqing engineers: Hold my beer.
Holy shit what a boondoggle
yeh much easier and simpler this way.
Lmao is this real?
I couldn’t possibly see this being a problem. After all, car drivers are always very safe and careful!

I never noticed, if you make the rotary supercollider with two way streets, it works!
The clover leaf (first one, when they are not a meme) is a really fun place on a motorcycle.
