Are people really praising this? I guess fuck the engineers who did a traffic study, and fuck the school children walking in that area from 7-7:30 I guess.
Ok cool so I guess OP is a civil engineer with a Professional Engineer license then, and got a resolution from the city/town’s governing board giving them permission to change it. And they publicly bid the project to certified contractors.
I’m willing to hear you out. Your evidence for the sign being “wrong” is that it wasn’t discovered? Do you think that city workers would check to make sure the sign still said 07:00 and not 07:30? Why in the world would they check things like this?
Imagine you take out a good made stop sign. You’d probably have a lot of crashes in a short period of time and soon it would be discovered that something is wrong.
Apparently it hasn’t happened, so it doesn’t seem to be causing a lot of trouble.
The sign is there for a reason. If after modification that reason has not manifest itself, most likely the modification is within the margin of what the people who is regulating traffic want to happen.
Not everything needs to be on the same scale of safety. I’m not saying that this particular rule was 100% perfect, just that it’s not up to individuals to undermine them arbitrarily, and just because no one noticed in ten years does not mean that it was ok to do it.
I’m glad it’s not causing a lot of trouble anyway…
absolutely… all the people praising this, like… those signs exist for traffic flow and safety… it’s so incredibly selfish to just say fuck everyone else, i need to turn right and even more selfish to avoid repercussions but making it “okay” for everyone else
maybe the sign was wrong, sure… but we don’t have that information… without more information, it’s an incredibly selfish act. dude has main character syndrome
You’re right, OP’s ability to marginally shorten their commute is more important than public safety, and the times indicated on those signs are completely chosen at random so it doesn’t matter anyway.

Or, hear me out, maybe the sign was just wrong. If they haven’t catch up in almost a year that was probably the case.

Oh wait no, none of that happened

Good point.
How is life like being a lawful good little paladin? I break rules that don’t apply to me. This guy seems to have broken rules that apply to no one.
You’re the guy saying the victim should have complied with the cop that murdered him.
