And yes. That IS taught in EVOC. Harry K |

Around blockages/slower traffic, away from the slower and more chaotic R-lane, etc. In the case of some crashes, believe it or not, the fastest (and sometimes only) route to the crash scene is via the opposite side of the highway. Surely you've seen images of accesses to both sides of divided limited access highways posted "Emergency (or Official) Vehicles Only"... no...? > Really, I'm certain that everyone else reading this understood what the > issues might be with "turning left on a multi-lane controlled-access > highway" save for you. You seem often certain of things for which you have no evidence, or that everyone else is as stupid and/or ignorant and/or unimaginative as yourself. ----- - gpsman |

Seems to be something that doesn't happen around here - the area between the lanes is usually taken up with something else, actually. Often express lanes, Metro train tracks, etc. In any case, where I have seen them exist, they're only every couple miles or so, if you know where they are plenty of time to change lanes before getting there. >> Really, I'm certain that everyone else reading this understood what the >> issues might be with "turning left on a multi-lane controlled-access >> highway" save for you. > > You seem often certain of things for which you have no evidence, or > that everyone else is as stupid and/or ignorant and/or unimaginative > as yourself. No, I figured that an intelligent person would be able to follow the discussion without my having to spell everything out in excruciating detail. That actually seems to be the case... nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

Why is it important to discard the other logical reasons and limit your response to "what you've seen"...? > >> Really, I'm certain that everyone else reading this understood what the > >> issues might be with "turning left on a multi-lane controlled-access > >> highway" save for you. > > > You seem often certain of things for which you have no evidence, or > > that everyone else is as stupid and/or ignorant and/or unimaginative > > as yourself. > > No, I figured that an intelligent person would be able to follow the > discussion without my having to spell everything out in excruciating > detail. *That actually seems to be the case... Who in this thread can you cite for which that actually seems the case...? Who is it that seems to "get" your nonsense? How can you possibly not realize that you're functionally illiterate and not at all intelligent despite the evidence you seem obsessed with continually providing? ----- - gpsman |
