Is that a fact?One of my biggest pet peeves when I'm on this message board is people who express their opinions as though they are facts. It reeks of arrogance
Just my opinion.

Yeah there's definitely only one of those people haha.
1. Dogs that don’t come when you call them.
2. Really slow computers that keep spinning/ loading.
3. Sitting in line at a drive through for five minutes or so and it’s finally your turn and the wife and kids stare at the menu and have no idea what they want.

There used to be a ton of people who used 'prolly' and even 'pry' on this board to mean 'probably.'
They keep putting up four way stops even though there are a whole bunch of drivers who can't figure out how to use them either.
There isn't that much to figure out:
- There is a yield sign for the traffic coming in at each entrance so they have to yield.
- It isn't a stop sign so they don't have to stop.
- Traffic in the circle is protected by yield signs so they don't have to stop.
- There are lane markings if it is multi-lane.
- There are signs indicating where lanes can go if they are multi-lane.
Follow the signs and lane markings and it tells you what to do.
I have one for you. I was on Douglas and 86th over the weekend in the outside lane waiting for the light to turn green. This SUV next to me in the lane going straight decided that they could turn left too from that lane lol. Guess there are 3 lanes that turn left now!
With all the other seemingly (to me) PSAs I see on television I've been long-time baffled why the government can't figure out maybe THIS is a topic for a nice 60 second PSA showing/explaining how they work. I mean, why do something that will help 100% of the public (even those of us who long ago learned how they worked will benefit if others can do it correctly) ?
Yes, we did not cover this topic in drivers ed back when dinosaurs walked the earth. I learned how they work traveling to Australia and New Zealand so had to conquer that AND driving on the 'wrong' side of the road.
The opposite is cities/towns who do not know how to properly set speed limits. We have speed limits of 35 MPH extending out into the corn fields north of town. Then another stretch of 45. There are guidelines on setting speed limits.
Yep, that stretch that speeds up past homemakers heading west, as well as that stretch heading towards Hy-Vee. They don't realize it and drive so slow. Also, there is a stretch on Bell Ave in Ames where the speed limit is posted 45, people drive 30 all of the time.
Moved to WDM from KC last fall. People drive slow as hell here. On my old commute if I wasn't going 10 over I was the slow one, the amount of people that drive 30 in 35s is so annoying.
Not 60 seconds and suuuuper dry but informative. And I'm pretty sure the general rules for them are universal state to state.
Websites that appear to be loaded but then right when you click on something another ad loads shifting the whole screen so you end up clicking on a different link. Looking at you CF and MSN.
Also had a work website I used a lot that did something similar. You'c click submit and then a normal sized Ok and Cancel dialog box appeared. But then the damn dialog box expands horizontally both ways and keeps moving the buttons as it expands.

They still have S Duff marked for 45, but with the number of stoplights and the amount of traffic, I don't think I've driven 45 on that road since we were grocery shopping at 11.30pm during Covid.
University is another one. It turns to 45 near the stadium, but that's never the speed folks go there.
