minus-squareinfinitesunrise@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·2 months agoAs if clueless Portland drivers would even notice. The intersection outside my house in north Portland is no turn on red, the big sign declaring this is hanging right over the intersection, and like every fifth car just ignores it or doesn’t see it.

minus-squareagit68@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 months agoDude they turn left across the max tracks on Yamhill downtown by Nordstrom all the time even though there are big no left turn signs. And what is the aversion to turn signals in this city? I ride a bike and religiously use hand signals.
