djsmiley2k

@badp wait wut

why are there no road markings on that road o_O?

badp

10:52

@djsmiley2k because it's instructional material on what would happen if there were no road markings on the road

it's essentially the default behaviour

Kevin van der Velden

11:10

@badp you're using public transport right? If you want to be a bit earlier I can come pick you up at driebergen station

@badp yes, if all things are equal then right has right of way

badp

@KevinvanderVelden ...and the default is a pretty stupid one

this almost never happens

Kevin van der Velden

Every 30 kph zone

badp

you would have to put at least a ┡ signal there for the car C to understand what's going on

Kevin van der Velden

All car c has to do is look to the right, see there is a road user coming from there and let them pass first

badp

or a ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ strip

Kevin van der Velden

11:13

@badp nope, if that's there then they have to give way to everyone, including left

badp

car C thinks they're going straight and the intersection has absolutely nothing to do with them

djsmiley2k

@badp in what country?

here, the car has priority

Kevin van der Velden

@badp They're crossing the intersection

Of course the intersection has everything to do with them =p

djsmiley2k

so the bus should wait.

as the bus is interupting the flow of traffic, on both lanes

badp

yes. I understand that technically there's nothing special about what car C is doing

djsmiley2k

11:14

I'm really getting into five finger death punch

badp

but in virtually all such T intersections in the real world, car C would go straight and car H would wait.

Kevin van der Velden

@djsmiley2k they're not bad

badp

I would expect car H to yield.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp I would expect to be hit on the side by the large bus that gives no fucks

badp

the kind of vehicles there is just a distraction

Kevin van der Velden

11:17

Anyway, the situation where there is no "main" road that has preference are really only in 30km/h zones over here, where one of the defining features of such roads is that everyone is equal

Every main road has one of those 45 deg rotated square signs (yellow with white border) indicating that everyone else has to yield to them

Nzall

@badp Yeah, but that's just default right of way. That's the case in any country that has a road rules of conduct

badp

@KevinvanderVelden right, but I still find this default behaviour surprising and upsetting

and indeed it's very rare

I can only think of one instance of this in the streets I've driven, and it's an accident hotspot

despite the supporting horizontal signage

Nzall

I was pair programming with a coworker 3 minutes ago. He had a glass at the corner of his desk. Key word: HAD

now the glass is shrapnel in the garbage bin

We would have thrown it into the glass for recycling, but we never use glass bottles or jars, so we don't have something for that

Kevin van der Velden

11:33

@badp if there are white triangles on the road the default behaviour doesn't apply

badp

@KevinvanderVelden the supporting horizontal signage effectively doesn't change the way the intersection works

Kevin van der Velden

But also go to any 30kph zone =p

badp

it's a T intersection where the traffic going → has to yield to the traffic going ↑

Kevin van der Velden

@badp in your pic, if H had signage, it would have to yield to B and C wouldn't have to yield to H

Ooh C has signage? Then yeah it doesn't effectively change anything because you don't have to yield to the car going the other way

Memor-X

@badp generally from my studies H would have to give way but ofcause in all the intersections like that in real life H would have Give Way Signs.

but given the names of B and H i can assume the real problem is the monkey in C

fredley

badp

@KevinvanderVelden in effect this just puts the B-H-C ordering on the tarmac

Kevin van der Velden

That's a stop sign the blurred thing right?

So we're going from the POV of H, meaning that it has to wait on both C and B, and C doesn't have to wait at all

badp

@KevinvanderVelden no, because C also has a give way.

reminder

1 hour ago, by badp

if you give H a stop, C a give way, and mark the main street as going from B to H, you effectively have the exact same intersection that behaves exactly the same way as a T intersection without any marking

Kevin van der Velden

H has to stop completely so C can go before them

badp

11:39

@KevinvanderVelden no

Private Pansy

Eh, C and B have right of way, no?

badp

H has priority over C

according to the tarmac, that's because C is merging in the street

Kevin van der Velden

This is a weird junction

badp

look at the diagram above

Private Pansy

That doesn't look like a slip road, and usually there's a give way / yield sign

badp

11:40

H has a free right

C has H on their right

so H goes before C

it's EXACTLY the same

THE SOLUTION IS ROUNDABOUTS

Magic Roundabout (Swindon)

The Magic Roundabout in Swindon, England, was constructed in 1972 and consists of five mini-roundabouts arranged around a sixth central, anticlockwise roundabout. Located near the County Ground, home of Swindon Town F.C., its name comes from the popular children's television series The Magic Roundabout. In 2009 it was voted the fourth scariest junction in Britain, in a poll by Britannia Rescue. == History == === Concept === The roundabout was constructed according to the design of Frank Blackmore, of the British Transport and Road Research Laboratory.

or H can release a chicken

Kevin van der Velden

@badp it's... complicated in practice but yeah pretty much

Nzall

@fredley they're fine, but only on smaller roads, because they slow traffic

badp

@KevinvanderVelden idd

Kevin van der Velden

11:42

The complication is that H has to come to a complete stop so if you're both going approaching from the same distance it's weirdness

fredley

The order C, H and B go depends completely on road markings, which are absent from this diagram

Who posted this shitty puzzle?

I bet it was @badp

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley there are no road markings in the situation

badp

@fredley it's from a driving book that explains to you what happens WITHOUT road markings. because it is possible that there aren't any.

Kevin van der Velden

Everyone is equal

badp

and even without road markings the rules of the right of way still apply

and in this case they're pretty upsetting

Private Pansy

@badp It looks like a standard T junction, in which case traffic on the 'head' of the T have right of way

badp

@PrivatePansy except not

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy nope

If everyone is equal, yield to the traffic on the right

badp

a car coming from the right here has precedence on you

Private Pansy

@KevinvanderVelden Hmmm, I only remember that applies for cross junction

Kevin van der Velden

11:46

A few junctions further there's the same thing

Chippies

@badp you'd have to have really pedantic drivers for someone to actually let that person go, unless they're just being nice

Private Pansy

But maybe my memory is wrong.

Kevin van der Velden

This is standard fare for any 30kph zone in the dutchlands

Jutschge

@Chippies works pretty much all the time here tbh

Private Pansy

The roads here are really well marked, so you usually won't have ambiguities like these

badp

11:46

@Chippies a colleague on a bike was almost run over on a similar situation

Kevin van der Velden

@Chippies if you're trying to pass a drivings test and you don't do it you don't pass =p

badp

she thought she would have the right of way because she was going straight

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy 30kph zone is basically a "living area" intended to discourage people from driving there except if they need to go to a place in the zone (i.e. no shortcuts where people live). Having to drive carefully and yield everywhere includes that

Chippies

@KevinvanderVelden people learn for the test, pass it and then never do what they learned

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden This is standard fare for every road in Belgium if there is no signage indicating otherwise.

Kevin van der Velden

11:48

Everywhere else is marked to all hell, but to know you're in a 30kph zone where kids play and you have to drive carefully they a: place signs and b: don't mark things

Kevin van der Velden

The rule is applicable everywhere of course, it just doesn't happen often

Private Pansy

@KevinvanderVelden We don't have that. Even our carparks have markings. They made the side of the roads curved to slow drivers down

Arperum

11:49

Since it's Belgium, there are frequently places where it's not marked. Even if that means giving right of way to a car coming out of a tiny sideroad when driving 70 kph.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum fortunately that is very rare here =p

Chippies

@Arperum wouldn't that imply that the car going 70kph is on the main road and has the right way?

Kevin van der Velden

(I can't recall one)

badp

11:50

Kevin van der Velden

Those ^ everywhere

Private Pansy

Is that a 'square dancers ahead' warning sign?

Kevin van der Velden

That is a "you have the right of way" sign

Arperum

@Chippies Not necessary. A lot of roads give you main road right of way, through the sign posted by @badp. But not everywhere.

Private Pansy

Ah. We usually have the opposite.

Kevin van der Velden

11:51

@PrivatePansy we have both, MOAR SIGNS

Also (implicitly) indicates whether you are in or out of city limits (inside = sign before junction, outside = sign after junction)

badp

@PrivatePansy you need both really, because the cars on the tiny sidestreets can't know you're merging into a street that has that in effect

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Dutch city limits are super vague.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum there are signs explicitly stating it =p

(sure, there's like 3 different types of signs for the same thing but meh)

Arperum

Although, not everywhere itn Belgium it's a good idea to take your right of way if coming from a sideroad. Some places just take it, others never do.

Private Pansy

@badp H is on the right relative to C, B is on the right to H, so B is first, H second and C last

@KevinvanderVelden No, half of them look like they are just saying "welcome to place" That sort of signs holds no value at all for traffic in Belgium. We have specific signs for city limits.

badp

@MadScientist yes. And that's not at all what I'd do.

Italian laws actually forbids customizing those signs

Arperum

AT this point signs without the city pictures on them have lost any value.

which means everyone stuffs as much crap in those signs as possible

Arperum

@badp It's not custom, they are required to be like the above pictures. Everyone has the same city picture on it.

We just paint lines on the road to indicate who has right of way, much cheaper to maintain than signs
