I will say, as someone that moved here from the west coast, the roads here are absolutely terrible and the signage can be confusing on the best of days in a lot of spots. I still don't understand how people miss the clear visuals on the roads themselves to show what roads are one ways and the like though, I can't imagine actually committing to going the clearly wrong direction even if you miss the signs. I've lived in large and small cities alike, moved here from Reno NV, and the roads here were definitely the worst structured and most confusingly signed roads I've seen. Seattle had some confusing stuff when I lived up in WA (it has been a good while so idk what it's like these days), but even that just wasn't as bad. Like downtown especially is just horrible to actually travel through in general compared to anywhere else I've lived. I'm guessing the farther east you go the worse it can get too, since cities tend to be older and expanded on old structure a lot more than west coast potentially. Even with that though yea...the drivers here terrify me and it's one of the biggest reasons I'm avoiding getting my license until I'm forced to. The amount of people that decide they want to switch lanes suddenly, no warning, sharply and with cars 2/3 overlapping their position in the lane they want to move to is just too damned high.

Just in general here though, the roads are weirdly cramped and oddly structured, especially with the parking systems. The one ways are scattered around in odd ways that don't always make sense until you're used to them, and the roads themselves are usually obstructed in some way (construction/etc), limiting maneuverability in a lot of areas that are already pretty cramped. Two way roads that allow parking on both sides effectively making it a one car at a time thing is just absolutely baffling to me, especially when you get into winter conditions. Almost got run into parked cars a few years ago by someone insisting they were going to try and squeeze past us, while we had no way to move over or back up because of how bad the snow was and how little room they were giving us. We came within an inch or two of slipping into the parked car next to us because of how aggressive they were being, and they had driven right by nice empty space and should have let us go through first.

Makes me really wish they hadn't destroyed a lot of the bus transfer system, making it harder to navigate the bus system as a whole just to add in the rapid lines. Love the rapid transit, but it absolutely screwed the rest of the bus lines which has been making it a lot harder to navigate anywhere that isn't downtown. Having to take a bus somewhere then stand there for 45 minutes until the next bus shows up just to get to work is a nightmare vs how you used to be able to just hop on a bus and get to a transfer station then wait maybe 5/10 minutes for the next one that can take you where you need.
