Rants: Excessive No UTURN Signs!
I am tired of the dumb ass no UTURN sign! They are at like every intersection where you want to do a UTURN! As a matter of fact I am tired of red arrows for dedicated left turn lanes.. but thats another post. I was remined of how dumb they are everytime I deposit at my bank because I have to take an alternate route everytime I go to the atm by my house because of the No UTURN sign.The irony is the alternate route also has a no-uturn sign but you can turn left into the gas station and do a UTURN that way? I wonder if the gas station owner must not mind all the extra traffic from people avoiding the chance of a ticket. It makes no sense at all. I can understand if it is a busy road and doing a UTURN blocks traffic, but a dedicated left turn lane no UTURN? Thats just bullshit. Also if you're allowed to turn left at the intersection a no UTURN sign shouldn't be there. Most people let this stuff go but it can be a major annoyance and excess signage can cause accidents. A protest is being held in Keene, NH on this very issue (person refusing to pay ticket) according to libertarian radio show Freetalklive.
