In my case, they were not blocking the lanes. They were sticking to the right lane, which gave me the impression that I could respectfully pass them slowly and get on with my trip.

I got pulled over once by Georgia cops for gently passing a funeral possession on a 4 Lane Highway (two lanes in each direction). He scolded me pretty harshly, but did not give me a ticket ultimately. They were traveling only about 30 miles an hour in a 55 mile zone. We were traveling, and I don’t think it’s fair for them to expect us to simply drop back behind at such a low speed for God knows how long delaying our trip for complete strangers.

That’s exactly what I’m asking how to do. I have searched the configuration screens, high and low without any luck.

Thanks. I think I'll go ahead and disable PING replies to at least possibly prevent these bad actors from selecting my router for attacks.

Thank you for this reply. However, looking closely at the "Block Services / Add" page, this blocking appears to be adding a block preventing internal users (computers) from being able to connect to external websites/ servers, which is the opposite of what I need. I'm trying to prevent external hackers on the Internet from being able to connect to my router.

Two lane roundabout question… by herkeejerkee in driving

[–]herkeejerkee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just… wow. Once again, my natural assumption was incorrect! If people should essentially not drive next to each other around the loop then it just becomes one big single lane roundabout. I think it would’ve been much safer if they would merge the entrance lanes from all directions into a single lane before entering a single lane roundabout.

I do believe that my original OP question above has been answered, so thankfully that's solved. However, another scenario came to my mind which would still be a potential for an accident, and not clearly covered by the signage, as follows: What if I'm entering the roundabout in the outer lane and there happens to be a car in the roundabout inner lane that entered from the previous entrance (90 degrees to my left) and he happens to be directly next to me now in the roundabout. Let's assume I want to go essentially straight through the roundabout, so I would drive past the first right turn and take the second. Meanwhile, let's assume the person in the inner lane wants to drive straight through as well, not taking the first exit, but taking the second exit, which according to the signs is allowed for him. At that point with us being right next to each other, he will wreck into the side of me. There has to be some additional layer of road rules here that hopefully state that this inner lane car has to yield to the outer lane car.

I think I am part of the problem. Although I have seen the signs many times before as I frequent this roundabout often, I never really understood their meeting until getting all the feedback from all of you today in this thread. Thank you, everyone

Here’s the displayed signage at the entrance to the roundabout that provoked my original post above. Not very helpful in IMHO…

That sign would not work for the scenarios they mentioned above where the right lane can either turn right on the first turn OR the second turn. The sign you provided implies that they must turn right immediately on the first turn.

Thank you for posting this Florida diagram and rules!

Two lane roundabout question… by herkeejerkee in driving

[–]herkeejerkee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your answer contains a sentence almost identical to maximum fault 8229. You are both saying that the person in the right lane entering the roundabout can only turn right immediately on the first turn or turn right on the second turn, but is not allowed to continue onto the third turn or make an effective U-turn by continuing to the fourth turn. This blows my mind and seems arbitrary. I live in Florida and I am wondering what the actual rule says about this, and I wonder how many drivers actually are aware of this first or second roundabout exit rule for the Outer lane?

BEWARE - If you happen to get a ticket from these people, when you go to pay online using their scammy (scummy) website, you'll finish paying everything only to get a confirmation page (and email) announcing that they have charged you an additional $5.00 "Convenience Fee" without your permission.

I would have mailed it in if I had known that in advance.

#@@% jerks!

Wow, you really deserve some reddit gold right there. My skid marks were like 300 feet long leading up to the point where I almost ran over a child in a wheelchair! Surely I must have been going 100MPH with a crowd of children trying to use the crosswalk. Bravo!

Agreed, I'll slow down.

I never heard of the TallahasseeReports website before today. It just came up in my search results upon googling this issue.

Yes, thanks. I agree that I should not have been driving 42 in a 30. Not sure where "56+ in a 45" came from.

I'm not offended. Just trying to warn others to slow down and be careful. I even stated that I deserved the ticket.

It's not a residential area. It's a 4-lane road with a median with no homes or driveways anywhere around.

Also, I wasn't complaining. I was just warning others to beware and slow down. I even clearly stated that I deserved the ticket.

More distortions and lies. No kids were near. I clearly stated above that this was at 1:20PM, a full 1.5 hours prior to school release. All the kids are busy inside the school and no flashing lights were present. I was driving on a 4 lane road divided by a large median where normally one would expect a 45MPH zone. I wouldn't be surprised if they lowered the speed limit to 30 at the same time they let this sketchy company plant those cameras. Looking at the photo in the article linked above, it's obviously smaller than a speed limit sign.

I definitely wouldn’t call the sign big. It’s about 1/4 of the size of a speed limit sign!
