When the light turns green, no biggie: just keep browsing Facebook. No one behind you in the line is in a hurry at all, so there's no need for you to rush. "Honestly, the lanes were already being used for this, so now we're just making it official," said one traffic official. "Pull over to the left lane, park your car, and just take your time. We wouldn't want you to be inconvenienced should a green arrow pop up and interrupt your Facebook browsing time. It's all good." Anyone who honks their horn or tries to actually turn left while people in front of them just chill and check Facebook will be cited for disturbing the peace. ------------- Source: Babylon Bee.

Hopefully this is just a joke but with the stupidity of people these days it would not surprise me if some municipality enacted such a law. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

The latest one here on the left coast. Take what is now 2 lanes each way with a big left turn lane, 1 lane each way not left turn and make the center of the street angled parking.I think they want to help the over population,run over the old and young as they cross traffic.

Do I read you correctly Ray.....parking in the center of the street. ...? So when you park, it is inevitable that you will be walking across a lane of traffic no matter what....? Pure genius (hint of sarcasm) Darrel |

Yes Darrel that is what they are thinking, well thinking is giving the orginators of this way to much credit. As I said a place control the over population. They are building a mini shopping place on main street in town. A 1/2 block area 4 or 5 sprerate buildings at angles and 2 big oak trees that had to be saved. So no on site parking.
And I kid you not they moved the sidewalk out into the street where every other block has parking. It is fu fu tourist kind of places. As a 30,000 population town has 6 or 7 or maybe more hotels that are 4 store as well as 200+ homes for rent by the day. So we have plenty of wino's coming to town. But even a bunch of them are not so crazy as to walk a mile from the hotel to new sandwich shop. The word on the street is part of "one world order" or "agenda 21" from the UN. Turn us back into a third world country. |

Every once in a while I'll see a moron, aheada me, at a red light, deeply engrossed in its phone. If there's no heavy traffic, and no one in front it, I'll lay on the horn, and watch it stomp on the gas, and go right through the intersection! Gotta try that one on an intersection, what has a camera! ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |
