Dear drivers coming from Joseph Howe Drive and the Bedford Highway during the morning rush hour between 8:30am-9am: I know you are rushing to get to work, and you drive this every day… so do I. However, those white lines painted on the road are there for a reason. SOLID white lines mean do not cross, dotted white lines mean you can cross them. I can understand if the line of traffic is backed up past the dotted lines, but trying to merge into the farthest right lane before you get to the dotted lines is only going to create problems and cause accidents, probably with the morons coming from Joseph Howe who are trying to merge left before the dotted whites. Don’t honk at me when I refuse to merge until the dotted whites… I’m obeying the law, you are not. If you hit me, it will be your fault because I’m the one following the rules. —Warning: White Line Watcher

I hear ya! I come up from JH every day and will merge in the Lady Hammond lane way past the solid line. But I can’t tell you how many times I have to jam the brakes on because some assphat from the Bedford Highway wants to get in my lane (Windsor St turnoff) as soon as he’s off the bridge. There’s a solid white line there for another 50-60 ft. The problem is accentuated by the JH traffic wanting to merge to the Barrington lanes.
It’s definitely a clusterfuck of a road system all due to morons.
hasn’t anyone learned to drive that fucking nitemare yet? and then we have the new roundabout. fucking people building these things are nuts.
The roundabouts have decided to rear their ugly heads in the valley hardcore. I don’t know who thought putting roundabouts in the valley was a grand idea, but they’re useless as fuck. Especially that one coming into new minas. What a clusterfuck of asshattery that piece of shit is. If traffic wasn’t bad enough up in there.
“good place to live” <-- HA!
they had better not turn that into a roundabout.
It sucks as is but will be torture if they do.
and yes, with respect to their Rtardedness in the valley.
I’m not sure why the mall needed one right in front of it….. uber upidstay
OP, leave earlier if you don’t like the traffic or how people drive. No one gives a fuck about those lines.
Such brilliant advice from someone who actually believes people care about what he thinks. Internet narcissists are the poorest.
