@@TheFrozenMister No, I know that in Europe, the left lane is the fast lane, for overtaking others. One could say that there's no reason for them to drive in the rightmost lane, since they're always in a hurry or something.
fact checking myself after the fact, but currently, seoul capital area is ~26 million, US Midwest is ~69 million, with chicago metro area being about ~9 million of that. but the density difference does go crazy, since the midwest is like 2 million square km and seoul capital's around 13 thousand.
9:40 I think about this all the time, people willing to risk their own lives and the lives of everyone around them to get to Burger King 5 seconds faster. Genuinely insane
it's just inconsistency, there are plenty of protected left turns in the lower mainland but not on many older streets, which is kinda stupid tbh, especially when combined with allowing right turn on red. this is why transit and biking is what I do 90% of the time, for my own sanity.
Tbh this is by far more a west side thing, which is funny considering thats where most of the money is. But east van tends to have pretty good intersections, other than like nanaimo and hastings or renfrew and hastings which have that same problem. Also, most traffic in downtown is pretty decent to navigate, though it’s sometimes tricky to remember all the different one way street locations. The best option is to always take public transit cause we have a city where it actually works pretty well.
"People who drive too slow cause more accidents than people who drive too fast" This is why I'll never get on a highway. I live too close to Massachusetts, and they give drivers licenses to just about anyone with this mindset. Massholes'll really say that "good driving" means "breaking every rule and surviving", then wonder why people around here hate seeing white and red license plates.
everybody's a 'confident' and 'assertive' driver until they vaporize a minivan full of schoolchildren because they refuse to do anything under 90 in a residential and don't know what brakes or turn signals are. obeying the rules of the road for the good of yourself and neighbors is badass.
This is for highway driving, not mogging down the suburb doing 150. Dont be in the left lane if youre driving slow. If youre on an on ramp to merge to a highway, match the highway speed before you get to the main road. Slow drivers also often hit their brakes for any fucking reason at all.
@@OfLastingThunder Fast drivers also often hit their brakes for any reason, probably more so given that they must react to hazards in a much smaller window than slower drivers. The relevant factor is predictability, and you're actually insane if you think that slower drivers are less predictable than faster drivers
@thenayancat8802 i didn't say predictable. But often times slow drivers ALSO hit their brakes while already going slow. It's dangerous. It's been proven. All studies point to driving slow in the left lane being dangerous for everyone included period. There's no argument to be had here.
The biggest truth about Washington and her roads, from a denizen, is that when it doesn't rain for a while we get a bit psychotic behind the wheel. The dog days of summer are an absolute death trap when you pass through here. As soon as the roads get wet we lock back in and chill out.
I consume a lot of NL content and yet I'm still coming back for some of the Librarian videos I missed. I will say the part where he starts talking about the lack of protected left turns in Vancouver awakened a memory in me of him playing Alt F4 and talking about the Vancouver roads. It's getting to the point where I as someone who does not live in Vancouver and has never really even seen Vancouver and able to start mentally mapping it out.

"Keep right except to pass" just means not to stay in the leftmost lane if youre not passing. It doesnt mean yiu need to go as far right as possible. Why would there be 5 lanes if everyone was technically only supposed to use 2?
The worst thing when ur driving on a highway/interstate is when you have been following someone going slower than you, then you move over to pass them then they just ram on the gas and not let you pass to then just slow down again, so you gotta drag race these dumbfucks to get infront of them because they dont wanna drive at a constant speed and also dont want people to pass them. Either watch ur speedometer or set cruise control for fucks sakes. dont get me started on people staring at their phone at a stop light then dont go for like 5-10 seconds after the light turns green.
here in illinois we do have advanced left turn lights, but motherfuckers always want to run the reds anyway! i understand when its needed, but holy shit people, you'll get your light just chill
Washington state liver here, the law is not to keep rihjt except to pass except certain areas, also you need to be in the middle lane if you're not passing or exiting. If you're in the right lane you're in the way of people on the on ramp.
@aigals it's literally to the West of the "gateway to the west" it's just the full blown west. Nobody in Kansas has ever drank a Vernors ginger ale or said you betcha. It's all BBQ and evangelicalism out there. Not passive-aggressive Lutheranism. Also, surely the most Midwest city ever is Milwaukee
On a standard 3 lane freeway you have passing, travel, exit. If everyone piled up in the right lane only that would make traffic worse this increasing the chance of an accident (more cars on the road at the same time = more potential collisions) so yes, use every lane except the far left as a travel lane, pass on the left, and merge left for incoming and exiting traffic.
@@teagancombest6049 Youd rather just see everyone pile up in the middle then? Meaning theres only on lane for passing instead of two? If you're going 90-100 and the speed limit is 110 why tf would you be cruising in the middle?

Left lane (#1) is for passing, second left (#2) is for driving (through traffic).
All other lanes are local traffic and entering/exiting.
