It's obvious they want you to just drive off the road or go into the other lane in reverse. I see no problem here.
But if you reverse, then you will stop for a short period of time...
Only with that attitude!
Damn you fundamental theorem of calculus!
Not if you drift
Specially, executing a perfect J-Turn would do it.
No U turn, but it doesn't disallow a & turn
Wait... That & shape manages to end on the exact same direction it starts.
Finally, all my gymkhana practice will pay off. Thanks, videogame version of Ken Block (RIP)!
Cyclist: "I do not recognize your authority."
You gotta do a secretory vesicle turn (looks like the open one!) where you swerve wildly off the road, circle around, blaze directly across the street at a right angle, then circle back onto the road heading the other direction. No stopping, no entering, and it's technically not a U-turn.
Haven't thought about secretory vesicles in a while, and this is a pretty unique context for them lmao
It's the shape my brain drew as I read those signs. It follows all the rules!
If this was on the diskworld, it would be an auditor trap.
In the real world, it can be a Tesla trap.
Oof
I'm honestly curious what the Tesla would do. Can a computer have an existential crisis?
Run over the sign?
Shift into neutral and promptly explode.
This was my experience lately when visiting downtown Vancouver (Gastown) for parking. Like 3-4 signs per post that somewhat contradict each other on times of day for parking.
90° right turn!
ascend straight up
Auditor trap
Finally a passing section!
Listen!
Hey!
