We all have questions rolling around in our brains at any given time, I’m sure. Some are burning, others merely smoldering. Perhaps the answers we seek will show up here. Perhaps not.
My questions:
What is the difference between bleu cheese and gorgonzola?
Is is legal to make a U-turn if it seems safe to do so but there is no sign saying you can or can’t make one?
Are Asian people offended by the Mr. Lucky Fortune Cookie video slot machine?
Yes. In Wisconsin you can make a U-Turn at any uncontrolled intersection unless it says that you can’t make one. In Florida you can even make them at stop lights.
Unless you’re referring to a specific brand of cheese you’re seeing labelled “bleu cheese” then the answer is:
Gorgonzola is a type of blue cheese. As are roquefort, stilton, and many others.
If you’re referring to the “bleu cheese” of salad-dressing fame, I’m guessing the lumps of “bleu cheese” are some sort of generic cultivated blue cheese or whatever type of blue was cheapest the day they made that batch.
Then I’ll have to find out what the deal is here in CA. As I recall from having been there a number of times, it seems to be tougher to make any legal U-turns in San Diego, especially when you really need to.
The California Driver Handbook 2002 says that U-turns are prohibited in business districts (i.e. urban areas, or built-up areas) except at intersections. The relevant passages are in the section entitled Laws And Rules Of The Road - Turns - Legal U-Turns, and are as follows (as of Jul-02):
So you can make a U-turn at any intersection or opening in a concrete divider unless there is a sign saying you can’t.
U-turns in residential areas are OK anywhere, according to this.
Anyone know about U-turns in Washington state?
Gee, these were fun! Wouldn’t it be great if we had a forum just to ask questions in? Nothing too specific, just general questions…
In a similar vein…are there states that prohibit right turns on red lights (in general, not just when there is a sign proclaiming such)?
Not meaning to be snarky but isn’t there a whole forum devoted to this?
That is my question. 
Damn it, it would help if I read up a couple posts. Oh, well. The point still stands.
Google is your friend, etc., etc. From here:
Oh I have one!
History:
About seven years ago, we rescued a feral cat out of a barn. Now fast forward seven years to present, and you have what we affectionately call psycho kitty. AKA the cat is pretty much afraid of everything and tolerates very little. He adores my spouse and hates everything else that moves.
Recently we have added two kittens into our family.
Question:
Is is possible for psycho kitty’s nature to rub off on the new kittens? Or will they just ignore him and grow up to be loving and affectionate cats?
I don’t think there is any place in Ohio where U turns are legal. I live at the Columbus border and there is a sign which states, “U turns prohibited city wide.”
I am almost 100% certain the right on red is not allowed in Manhatten anywhere. I know the minimum driving age there is 18, which is unique among US cities.
Cookies are sweetened, crackers aren’t. If there’s an exception to that, I wish to know what it is.
Also, I have yet to hear of the HTML script that will save a cracker to your computer.
I just want to say “right on red” is one of the most sensible traffic flow rules ever. I really wish they’d bring it in over here and in the UK (though it’d be “left on red” for us of course). I think with all the pedestrian crossings it would have to be specified per intersection, but it would still help so much.
Left on red is legal in PA, provided you are moving from a one-way street to another one-way street, and no sign is posted to prohibit same.
It’d be horrific. You’d have countless junctions where it would have to be prevented, either because of crossings as you identify, or because the visibilty to the right isn’t good enough. By the time you get down to the few junctions where it would be possible to do safely, you’d make little impact on traffic flow. The tories briefly talked about including it in their 2001 manifesto, before they actually sat down and thought it through.
(I note that it’s not allowed in Manhattan, where I should think the problems would be similar to what I’ve suggested)
Isn’t there a forum here called General Questions?
Could I point out that England does not equal London, and Great Britain does not equal England either. I suspect there are a lot of small towns where left-on-red-when-safe-after-stop would be an improvement in traffic flow.
Right-on-red is legal in New York State anywhere it is not specifically prohibited outside New York City, where it’s permissible only where signs specifically permit it.
