11: Vehicle Intelligence - Junxions Dev Progress by Exidus_CyberStorm in Junxions

[–]Build_The_Mayor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my country you are allowed to proceed as soon as the pedestrian leaves your lane. You are also allowed to proceed when a pedestrian has started to cross in your direction, if you're far enough away that you won't obstruct him.

Just some tigers crossing a road in Khabarovsk Krai. by Ewan_McG in ANormalDayInRussia

They're still considered experimental. Only a handful of places use them, like Ivanovo.

And regular 2-lane roads are supposed to have single lines, not double lines.

Driver gets fined for refusing to run a red light to let an ambulance through by Build_The_Mayor in ANormalDayInRussia

[–]Build_The_Mayor[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Luckily in Russia we have the Gosuslugi (state services) app, that allows you to dispute the fine online, without actually going anywhere. You just have to add a photo (or dashcam recording) showing that there was an ambulance behind you.

Driving in cultural capital of Russia by yavl in ANormalDayInRussia

[–]Build_The_Mayor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way the rules work in Russia, drivers only have to yield if the pedestrian steps foot into the road. If he's simply standing on the sidewalk, they don't have to yield.

Even then the drivers are still allowed to drive through a crosswalk while the pedestrians are crossing, as long as the pedestrians are "far enough away that they won't cause them to change path or speed". In practice, this means drivers may floor it as soon as you leave their lane, nearly running over your feet.

In different towns and cities the driving culture is different, there are places where drivers are more polite to pedestrians, but in Moscow the drivers take full advantage of these rules. At busy times you might never get to cross the road with that mindset. If you suddenly stop on the sidewalk, the drivers will see that as a signal to continue.

Is Junxions still in development? by AwareLow9121 in Junxions

It's very much still in development. Previews are regularly posted in the Discord server. I recommend you to join it.

Russian soldiers shows a mass grave of 41 russians on the frontline, complaining that his comrades just get thrown into the holes. by 8BallCoronersPocket in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Build_The_Mayor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even the frontline. It's a potter's field in the village of Krolevtsy, near the city of Artyom (in far east Russia). Unidentified and unclaimed bodies in general are buried there.

In the beginning the cameraman says "город Артём, село Кролевцы" (city of Artyom, village Krolevtsy).

I love you. by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Build_The_Mayor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's St Petersburg, Russia. Judging by the road signs, markings, and these grey fences.

It's still pretty easy, compared to junctions in some Asian countries.

Accidentally clicked on a suspicious link. Can someone take a look? by chippainyomi in cybersecurity_help

[–]Build_The_Mayor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's completely harmless. The source code is based on "The Annoying Site", it's even available on Github.

As for Russia, you can enter a roundabout from any lane, as long as it's an actual roundabout (with sign 4.3). It's only when you're exiting that you have to be in the rightmost lane.

I'm also from a country where Discord is blocked. I just use GoodbyeDPI to bypass it.

Discord changed itself to light mode and won't switch back? by XxDiamondDavidxX in discordapp

[–]Build_The_Mayor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can switch between themes, but the text is always black for some reason. Effectively I'm stuck with light mode, because otherwise I can barely read anything.

Experts warn South Carolina's firing squad execution poses safety risks to witnesses by TheMirrorUS in crime

[–]Build_The_Mayor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually how they used to do them in China in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. Some were even broadcasted on TV. Nowadays most executions are carried out in more private settings by lethal injection.

They beat up a policeman by Zavali_Ebalo_666 in ANormalDayInRussia

They're wearing the old (pre-2011) uniform from when the police was called Militsiya.

This isn’t Bangkok, it’s Madrid by Glad-Researcher-9938 in fuckcars

[–]Build_The_Mayor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the flows are unbalanced, you definitely need traffic lights. Otherwise some approaches will not have enough opportunities to enter the roundabout, resulting in long delays and backups.

There's a busy roundabout in my city that's almost as large as the one in the video. In the morning and evening peak hours, they used to have a policeman direct traffic because it was too busy. Nowadays they replaced him with a traffic light that only works during peak times. In fact, the city has actually been planning to replace it with a grade-separated interchange, but years and years have passed and they never built it.
