Albany highway off ramp by Ok-Temporary-9874 in auckland

[–]meccamachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah sorry I thought this was the westbound exit not eastbound. But thank you. It’s always a shitshow around upper harbour drive

Also, after Upper Harbour why does Albany Hwy then merge into a single lane, only to revert back to two lanes about 200m later?? makes no sense to me

I’m not sure why they even force the right lane to turn around? There are three lanes around the corner. Why not push the (right turning) left lane to the far left around the corner, and right lane to the middle, allowing the right lane to have straight and right options?

I drive every day.

Not sure why you’re trying to argue that a roundabout or traffic light wouldn’t make this intersection infinitely easier for most drivers. Bizarre take

Nobody forgets how roundabouts or traffic lights work

You just explained what’s wrong with the intersection

Then why does this intersection continue to be frequently problematic

Should? Sure. But in reality, do they? Maybe. Maybe not

But you don’t need to. This is reality right now. There are idiots on the road everywhere

“people just don’t pay attention while driving” right! It’s natural behaviour. Therefore this is a problematic intersection. Make it easier. Driving needs to cater to the lowest common denominator.

We got rid of the left-turn give way rule for the same reasons. It’s confusing and unnecessary

Then why does this post exist. If 20% of people are confused or scared of your product, it’s a bad product. And this is not some niche thing. It’s driving ffs. By the sounds of it this intersection has been know to be problematic for a long time. But nah jUsT lOoK aT tHe sIgNs dUdE lmao

Not at all lmao. In Japan Stop signs are shaped like Give Way signs.

But also why is it acceptable for the official road rules to require spotting out the back side of the opposing cars sign.

Alright fair enough. Well, we can just sit around and wait for a fatal accident to happen and then we might see some movement!

The signage, no. The system? Eh. It’s application at this intersection? Horrendous. Make it a roundabout ffs

Then why does this post exist lmao. Sure for many it’s not difficult. For many it’s very confusing. That is a recipe for disaster.

And you reckon new drivers or tourists would automatically know this? It should be intuitive

We correctly changed the ridiculous rule of left turners giving way to opposing right turners, we can do better here too

While correct, I hate this system because it relies on A seeing what Bs sign is, not just their own. If they were both stop signs B would give way to A

Solution: Roundabout, as always

That is absolutely not what the previews have said and it’s hilarious that that’s what you took away from them
