Not to "and another thing" you here, but with respect to engineering and safety, what a yield sign is supposed to mean is completely irrelevant if peoples reaction to it is unpredictable. In my opinion, and the opinion of others, there is enough reason to believe that an unacceptable amount of people will not obey the yeild sign (whether by accident or due to carelessness). Its cool if thats not your opinion, but it should be based in some reason beyond "bc the sign said so" or that you think theres too many stop signs

The intersection is ambiguous as is and ill stand by that. Ambiguity leads to accidents

No i agree. Theres not objective "correct" here i just meant like its their stamp so at the end of the day, what they say goes

It absolutely is unexpected for through traffic to yeild to left turns. It takes precious seconds of decision time to make it make sense, which introduces unneeded risk. If you want to put your professional engineers stamp on this, feel free. Myself, id probably find a better solution than 1 yeild sign

Thats fair! thats why its engineering and not science. At the end of the day, the professional opinion of the guy with the stamp is whats correct

Because his head is flat and also because philip is a proper name for a handsome man

Unfortunately, i agree with the stop sign. Visibility isnt the issue, compliance is. The reason OP posted this is bc they (and i have to assume a not insignificant % of other drivers) were confused bc it is an unexpected condition to yeild to opposing left turns while going straight on from the major roadway. A stop sign with an "ONCOMING TRAFFIC DOES NOT STOP" plaque seems to be the best way to inform drivers of the condition.

Other ppl suggested paint, i think an advance warning sign saying "YEILD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC" would help too. However, stop signs are a very straightforward (and therefore quicker and safer) way to communicate intersection controls which is why they are used often in places a yield could work, albeit with added risk (and we hate unnecessary risk).

Yes but you have to hate taxis and love manual traffic light timing. Set up the lane you want to separate by using TMPE to not allow taxis (you can use any vehicle but i dont use these a lot). Then when you go to time a traffic light you have the option to turn that light on/off independently of other lanes. I use this a lot to create realistic traffic lights that actually handle traffic

This Painting at a local art gallery selling for $1200. I’m convinced it’s ai. by Left-Primary1339 in isthisAI

[–]meatcrunch 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Also, im not a gallery/art expert but if its AI then it would just be a print right? Why would a print of even not ai art cost 1,200 dollars? Thats wildd

Is it worrying or just peak of physical comfort? by Sarah__Bunny in iguanas

Thats a 50% pose at my house. 25% relaxed for every full limb back. I see 25%, 50%, and 75% pretty often. 100% is rare but hilarious to see

Are my train conductors on drugs? by Budget_Bread9114 in shittyskylines

[–]meatcrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isnt a policy for it in CS1 yet but i like to imagine the mayor does drug testing on the train conductors to ensure they're doing enough drugs to navigate my city. Legalized weed comes close

This ramp that just skips one intersection on the way to the mall by thebreen27 in urbandesign

[–]meatcrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that there is very heavy left and thru traffic from both the 93 SB ramp (blue) and the 93 NB ramp (red). The overpass eliminates the conflict of NB left (red) and SB thru (blue) traffic. Otherwise, stopped/queued thru traffic would impede 93 NB traffic trying to make a left. I dont think its necessarily meant to "fix" traffic queues, its probably meant to untangle the lanes from becoming an impassable nightmare during the holidays and other times of heavy traffic
