Fucking-A people if it says “Thru Traffic OK” it means you can stay in your goddamn lane and you won’t leave the fucking freeway! This can come in handy because it means you don’t have to fucking slow to a crawl so you can change lanes because you are too stupid to realize that you aren’t exiting, you single-helixed moron!
Road sign are your friend…READ THEM! KNOW THEM! LOVE THEM!!!
It’s the same thing with the yellow strips at the bottom of the exit signs. “Exit Only” means that if you’re in that lane, you’d better get out unless you want to take the exit. That doesn’t mean waiting until the lane has begun to split and you have to swerve wildly across the dirt-filled wedge of pavement between the two lanes, spewing up a cloud of paint-chipping detritus. “Left Exit” means that the exit is to the left, but you don’t have to leave the lane if you don’t want to take the exit. So don’t freak out and come inches from sideswiping me because you decided to change lanes without looking.
Also, if the sign says your exit is coming up, please work your way over to the proper lane (reading the signs, of course, to figure out which lane that is) in a timely manner. Don’t wait until the “1/4 Mile” sign goes past to decide you’d like to leave the highway. I don’t really like seeing brake lights fly sideways past the front end of my car, thank you.
