Geez Louise, reminds me of my Kennywood days. That dreaded light, the hesitation, the honking and the screaming, ahhhhhhhh 🥴🥴

I knew what sign this was going to be before I clicked on the link. This sign is insane. It is also accurate.

Most frustrating is the people turning left into Arby's. They either go too far up and block the ability to go around, or people are dumb and don't go around when they are able to. So you sit on that hill for no fucking reason and miss the light.

Also, coming out of the Arby's/the cum and go and the people coming the other way always yeet the Pittsburgh left when you are both moving full speed at eachother. Almost crashed there so many times.

between the quality of the roads and the absolute hostility of the lane design/signage like this it's truly a small miracle that we all havent been horribly mangled in car crashes lol

Ah, the least consistent intersection of my commute.

I gotta go through my camera roll to find it because I don’t remember where it was. But my CarPlay had my my GPS on screen and I remember thinking “some guy at Google had to program that traffic pattern sign into Google Maps specifically for a Pittsburgh intersection. There is no where else in the US that would be dumb enough set an intersection up like this.”

Driving in this city blows. People drive like animals, at least 20 mph over the speed limit anywhere you go AND riding your ass if you don’t keep up with their speed. Don’t even get me started on the 2 way, narrow ass streets that got big ass buses going down them. -5/10 recommend.

GPS: turn right.

WHICH RIGHT? The 25 degree angle right, the 45 degree angle right, the 90 degrees angle right or the sort of straight be kind of curves to the right??? With 5383738 cars around you rushing you.

Also, you chose the wrong right turn.

I was born in Pittsburgh, lived here most of my life, but driving in Boston was worse.

This makes perfect sense. What’s the problem?

lmgst30 t1_iy698ev wrote

A comedian once described turning here as "You make a left and a right at the same time" and I still think that's the most accurate way to describe it.

All I know is if I take the top arrow I'm headed to kwnnywood.

Only thing it’s missing is the z-axis.

Will you be going up to the overpass you don’t want to be on or down to the underpass you don’t want to be on?

The fact that there is a traffic sign clearly delineating how to manage the intersection actually makes this pretty atypical....

I took a trip up there a few years back and would love to know who thought that building a road underground with exits that have exits was a great idea. Also encountered a 2 lane roundabout where the lines were merely suggestions - people were driving as if there were 3+ lanes.

There's a similar one in Bridgeville around Eat n Park on 50, right?

My kids called that "the Cthulhu sign." It was between home and Kennywood as they were growing up.

The first intersection I learned to hate when i moved here and it still makes me nervous driving through it. Whenever I bring it up I refer to it as the octopus/trident intersection because that's what I feel like I'm wrestling every time we tango.

The first time I ever saw that sign I was driving home from a party where I got unknowingly dosed by LSD. I left when it started hitting me before I realized what exactly was happening.

Imagine coming up to that intersection for the first time while tripping. If I didn't have my gps giving me directions i probably would have ended up hopelessly lost.

Looking at the photo of this sign, I just heard the intro to Anyway You Want It by Journey.

“Anyway you want it, that’s the way you neeeeed it. Anyway you waaaant it!”

I think the sign at the light on Murray at Forward and bunch of other streets is even more complex. That’s going up hill.
