    0:44 yeah I cant stand when people are “nice instead of following the rules. I understand wanting to help others, but the key to safety on the road is predictability. When you stop when you’re supposed to go, you’ve made yourself unpredictable. Smh

    No one in North Carolina seems to be capable of making left hand turns. I jokingly say, “They are so right wing here that they can’t even make a left hand turn.” Also, people in North Carolina are completely clueless when it comes to rotaries. They have to some of the dumbest drivers that I have ever seen.

    I wish the state would initiate an education system for driving in roundabouts. I drive thru at least one a week and nearly every time I have to slam on my brakes because some fool doesn't understand that cars IN THE ROUNDABOUT have the right of way. They just drive thru like they own the road!

    This is light work compared to what I usually see in CLT doing Uber. Most of these are valid, but some of these are an overreaction. No turn on Red has to be the most useless thing ever that’s put in place to regulate stupid people who can’t judge distance. I understand perspective why they put those on lights but again they’re just to stop dumb people from being dumb and they ignore the sign anyway

  • @RailRoadChaserNC
    @RailRoadChaserNC25 күн бұрын

    That's a double left turn lane and if you pause the video at the 1:50 mark before the info card shows up, you can see the dashed white line and that I am on the right side of it which goes into the outer lane and so I did go into the correct lane. Were you referring to something else?

  • @91CBR86VFR
    @91CBR86VFR25 күн бұрын

    ⁠@@RailRoadChaserNCOne of the downsides of viewing videos on a phone is that finding the one frame that proves you correct can’t be seen before the info card appears (the clip looks to start with the info card already up) while watching the video and can’t be paused with single-frame accuracy. Not being able to identify that intersection to support my response based on the overwhelming preponderance of single left turn lanes and the maddening daily occurrence here of people not sticking to their lane in a turn, I made the natural assumption based on those odds. Therefore, I will accept your claim of a double left turn lane and withdraw my objection. Your witness, Counselor.

    Charlotte area has too many "no turn on red" for long lights. So, you can't really blame them

  • @RailRoadChaserNC
    @RailRoadChaserNC5 ай бұрын

    Yes, some of the lights are long, but the reason for a "No Turn on Red" is because the road setup is not conducive for the safe operation of right-hand turns with conflicting traffic due to line of sight being blocked because of things like trees/shrubbery, buildings, right-of-way fixtures, etc. One place that should have a "No Turn on Red" sign that surprisingly does not have one yet is the intersection of W Morehead St and Wilkinson Blvd for travelers turning right to go west bound onto Wilkinson from Morehead. The bar/club at that intersection greatly obscures oncoming traffic from the left and due to that fact, I refuse to turn right on red and will wait for a green light.
