    Did you actually read the article? They’ve created a traffic jam, nobody knows what’s going on, and the worst part is, if there’s no other traffic, you could still fang it though the chicanes from what I can see.

      I read it, it sounds like a bunch of entitled cunts annoyed that something they’re familiar with has changed.

      “Everybody’s confused!”. Ok, maybe the 1st day. If you’re still confused in a week you shouldn’t be driving.

        It sounds like there’s no designated right of way, so who is supposed to go?

        And if they’re not used to having an artificially created traffic jam on their street, honestly, I think that’s fair enough.

          There’s always a right of way, indicated by signs or just road law. If a driver doesn’t know the relevant rules they’re not qualified to be on the road.

          And if they’re not used to having an artificially created traffic jam on their street, honestly, I think that’s fair enough.

          Yes, let’s stick with the 100km/h traffic in the residential area.

            So who has the right of way then? Because I don’t see any signage indicating that in the photo.

            And as I said earlier, what’s wrong with speed bumps?

              I didn’t say there’s anything wrong with speed bumps. Though I’ve noticed a trend away from them, so there may be a reason for it.

              It’s a bit bold to take a look at a single low res picture and say there’s nothing there indicating right of way. It might be marked on the road, it might be just out of the camera angle, whatever.

                There may be signage, but between the “nobody knows what’s going on” comment, and the fact there’s no evidence of it, would you say it’s more likely there is or isn’t a designated right of way?

                  I’ve seen drivers who should never have gotten their license in the first place, and roundabouts removed because idiots couldn’t figure out how they worked. I’m going with the likelihood that drivers were idiots until there’s evidence otherwise.
