...if so, please STAY home. Turn in your license. Sell your car. Why do I always end up at the four way stop with people that had their brains removed as children? It's always someone not knowing what they are doing and sitting too long or a teenager that doesn't stop at all.

 

Can't wait to be named NKY traffic Czar.

A light was out at a very busy intersection in Louisville last weekend (Bardstown Road at the Watterson Expressway) and it's amazing to me how many people don't understand how an intersection works with flashing red stoplights. It was like taking your life into your hands trying to get over to the Lowe's at Bashford Manor on Saturday. Six cars at a time burning through the light and high-tailing it onto the interstate ramp.

 

Flashing red light: FULL STOP. PROCEED WHEN CLEAR. THE DRIVER REACHING THE INTERSECTION FIRST AND STOPPING FIRST THEN HAS RIGHT-OF-WAY TO PROCEED FIRST. In other words, treat it as you would as if it was a stop sign.

 

Of course, it would appear people don't know how to deal with a basic set of stop signs either, so that puts us right back at square one.

So you're saying they need to... Get Slow???

You bet. Everyone should. It's not just a username, it's a way of life.

 

But seriously, one of these days, some thoughtless goon behind the wheel is going to take me out on Bardstown Road near Buechel or on Dixie Highway in Shively. It's just going to happen.

Or when there are flashing yellow lights and people keep stopping.

Years ago (circa 1974) I was in Norwood and came face-to-face with a five-way stop.

Don't get me started on the yellow flashing lights...lol.

Turnabouts are becoming more popular now in the U.S.

Turnabouts are making a comeback!

 

Great. I better get a bus pass.

No explicit comments on five-way stops in the Kentucky Rules. By operation of law, you are authorized to engage in demolition derby.

 

Note: Kentucky legal ethics guidelines oblige me to tell you that this is terrible advice and under no circumstances should you observe demolition derby rules on Kentucky roads. Use your best judgment and apply the principles of four-way stops to the maddening intersection designed by a dopey civil engineer that likely never actually finished his degree program but lied on his resume in order to get a government job from a family friend that worked in the transportation cabinet at the time.

You have two extremes for motorists in such situations - Those operating under survival of the fittest rules vs. those afraid of their own shadow.

I bet all these terrible drivers are women, too! (Just wanted to say it before a man does!) :wave:

Oh, didn't you hear about the change? I's actually he/she who flinches first! :eyeonyou:

You forgot to add, "while on the phone."
