    I hate how road laws are inconsistent everywhere in the country.

    Like one city, you can’t do a u turn, but in another city, you can do a U-turn as long as you scream out of your window to the Beastie Boys.

      Where I live, some stop signs have a rectangular white sign underneath them that says “except for right turn” which means you don’t have to stop if you’re turning right. Works OK for locals because we know that exception is there, but people driving there for the first time have no fucking idea and all they see from the cross street is the back of the stop sign, so they assume the other person has to stop.

        Didn’t it take forever for NJ to get self-service gas (petrol) stations?

      But states rights hurr durr!

      Yeah, the inconsistency is literally a problem for public safety. And it gives automatic excuses for car drivers following rules they may be used to from another state. Absolutely wild.
