The city I live in probably isn’t known for its well designed roads. For example, at the intersection of Cason Ln. and River Rock has a stoplight, and then 100 feet away (maybe not even that) is another stop light. This means that nine times out of ten, you can’t clear the intersection, and usually have to stop at the line, even though the light is green. That is, unless you’re a selfish asshole, in which case, you can ignore the sign conveniently placed by the stoplight saying “DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION.” That’s probably just a suggestion, anyway. Besides, surely the light won’t change red before the other light changes green, right? Oh wait, no that happens alot because the lights aren’t synchronized right. So there you are, stuck in the middle of the intersection, trying not to look over at the car whose way you are blocking, because you know they’ll probably have a finger they desperately want to show you, if only you’d look. It REALLY doesn’t help that the people whose way you are blocking only have a green light period of about 5 seconds to go, so waiting on your ass to move is probably out of the question. But that’s okay, because they can wait another 5 minutes for the next green light to change.
This rant brought to you by the fact that my girlfriend and I sat at the intersection for 10 minutes and 2 light changes because people don’t understand the fact that you AREN’T SUPPOSED to BLOCK the INTERSECTION. What’s even worse is when you’re stopped at the green light trying desperately not to block the intersection, assholes behind you are honking for you to go because they want to be even bigger assholes and block the intersection.
(Hopefully this is mild enough for MPSIMS. Although I suppose I could throw in a few mentions of SUVs to make it pitworthy )
