Lets see how well Farkers understand road signs.

A sign that says "Speed Limit 55" means the fastest you can drive is ___ when in the left lane on the expressway?

Especially the "merge" sign. Dunno if I speak for the other 49, but Minnesotans have absolutely no farking idea how to merge.

Get over dumbshiat! GET THE fark OVER! WHY ARE YOU GOING 35?!?

I can get my car up 80 before is starts to shake, but it really depends on your particular vehicle.

Hell I dunno what some of those signs mean. I think the American signs are simpler and easier to understand at a glance.

 
imfallen_angel 2008-10-04 09:54:22 AM  
I have to agree with subby.

Peole do not know what a "Yield" is, nor can they use a circle.

And signal/turn lights, heck, I'm starting the believe that 90% of all cars don't have them installed.

Between that and those that sit there waiting for the Stop sign to turn green... I used to love to drive, now, between the bad drivers, the torn up roads and the ticket happy cops, I no longer have the same enthusiasm I once did.

/wants the Batmobile so I can just smash into them and/or shot them out of my way.

Sometimes we don't know, like the "insect ahead" sign that used to used for narrow bridges. Sometimes we don't care, like "stop even though there's no reason to stop" or "drive 20 miles per hour slower than everybody else."

Of the signs Marcus Aurelius posted, my favorite is the one on the bottom row warning drivers that the car is a Ford.

i don't know what the fastest that you can drive is but the slowest you can drive a 55 zone is 54.99995 or you can be shot.

Trick question... 55 is the lower limit, the upper limit is the speed just before which your car explodes.

on I-64 or I-5 during rush hour, that means watch the cars going the other direction go 55 mph. In Florida, it means 30, since that's as fast as you can go, since there's a little old man driving in the left lane with his left turn signal on, and northbound on the Maine turnpike after the tollbooth, it means Mach 55

 
StreetlightInTheGhetto 2008-10-04 10:28:23 AM  
There's a sign on my way back home from a state newly experimenting with roundabouts.

If I didn't almost always have a decent sense of where "north" is when I'm driving, I'd end up back on the damn freeway after taking the offramp and coming across a roundabout sign where there is no roundabout.

That said, no one on this side of the state gets "keep right except to pass". It isn't THAT HARD, biatches.

I did follow someone for 2 hours of driving once, just by the virtue that we both were dutifully obeying the passing rule while also going a reasonable, flow-of-traffic 5 mph over. I debated Craigslist Missed Connection-ing them.

"I followed you for 2 hours on I-94. You used your turn signal perfectly, moved over for cars on the onramp, and passed with enough room that the car behind you didn't have to touch the brakes, but not so much that you were in the left lane unnecessarily long.

Will you marry me?"

/boy, girl, I don't care
//it's that effing rare

rudemix: Drive a big rig and you'll learn them all real quick. You'll pay until you do.

Ooohhhh, so that one sign means "get in the left lane and really slowly attempt to pass another big rig whenever serial_crusher is trying to pass you."

And that other sign that means "try to change lanes without looking while serial_crusher is trying to pass you." Yeah, that sign is fun.

As for roundabouts, that no one knows how to use in this state, understandably:

I went to Europe in 1997 for a student trip. I stayed with a homestay family in Sweden. Amongst other adventures (seeing a near riot over a minor league soccer match, sex talk with the homestay mom and daughter over breakfast, etc.) I also got the joy of taking a roundabout at what had to be about 60 mph, in a Volvo.

Good times.

Then again, no one here "gets" Michigan Lefts, which is a damn efficient method of turning. No crossing in front of opposing traffic for a left, which always makes me feel like I'm gonna die when one twit with a cell phone decides they haven't accelerated recently.

One sign: a right arrow for, say, "East", a right arrow doing a U-turn for "West". What's hard to get?

I remember that from when I spent a year in Minnesota. The people stopping at the bottom of the ramp were scary. If there was room I passed them on the right and merged into traffic.

Iowa is worse. A friend of mine said, "People in Iowa think the left lane is where you drive to look at the corn on the other side of the road."
