You'll be waiting there a looooong time.....

[fireheart]

at the moment, one of the bridges not that far from the university is closed so that roadworks can occur on what's underneath. Said bridge happens to be at the start of a T-intersection, so there's two turning lanes: one for traffic heading to the city centre (left turn) and one for those heading southbound (right turn). Both the turning lanes and the actual road itself are all blocked off with cones.

Driving to uni this morning, I caught one guy sitting in one of the blocked off turning lanes, with his indicator on, ready to turn right and patiently waiting for his light to turn green. The light will not turn red because there is no traffic coming from the bridge >.>

Wonder if he's still sitting there now . . .what a dumbass.

And we have people here in my state that can't drive . . . *gasp* they're EVERYWHERE around the globe!

[fireheart]

He probably is. I'll have to check as I drive along that road coming to and from uni.

I should've clarified as well, he was sitting in the turning lane ready to turn onto the closed bridge. There are electronic signs EVERYWHERE at the moment saying that <Road> will be closed until November, use alternative routes. As a result, the lights are permanently set at green.

I can't drive.

Oh wait, I never get behind the wheel of a motorcar unless it's in a video game.

So driving back home from uni and I encounter no less than half a dozen cars waiting in that same lane to make the turn >.>

Given that there's a U-Turn lane some 200m or so ahead I have no idea why they feel this need to either a) use the lane as a U-Turn Lane (illegal in my state) or b) try and get past the blockade set up, which actually has fences strung along the closed point.

And checking this morning, YET ANOTHER CAR IN THAT SAME DAMN LANE

There is only one other explanation that I can see for people wanting to use that lane. There's a heavy-machinery-hire place located on the corner of Closed Off Bridge and Main Road and the closed off area doesn't occur until AFTER the turning lane to get into said hiring place. The only way to get into that place if you're heading away from the City Centre is to turn right at that particular turning lane. So while it explains one or two of the dumbass drivers, it doesn't explain the half a dozen idiots I caught at NIGHT.

This applies to me too!
