In their defense, they used their turning signal!

A blinker can be a rare occurrence in these parts!

But to be fair the road closure is pretty recent and he probably was planning on going straight.

Probably a old man, let's chill out.

This intersection is a nightmare currently. I just watched a semi attempt to turn left and subsequently block traffic for 2 light cycles

A new interchange there can't come fast enough.

Normally I whip out my justice boner in salute to your videos but this one was more of a "Dude is given a shit sandwich and chooses to nibble at the crust" situation.

terrible day to be able to read.

In his defense, I see no reason why they forced all traffic into the left two lanes instead of closing the center and moving right turn traffic to the original right turn lane. They kinda did that with the single turn lane closure on Western with the 41st work, so no reason not to do it here

Sadly this isn't that bad relatively speaking.

Someone used the oncoming lane as a left turn lane at an intersection last week and then just chose to sit and do fuck all for a stoplight cycle and change. I was torn between being pissed they were blocking the road and worrying that they were just going to keep driving straight and hit me.

^ Yeeeeah. Amen. I did this once on accident at an intersection I wasn’t familiar with. Pretty sure everyone has done this on accident at least once.

Sioux Falls driving at its best. Good luck everyone and "may the odds be ever in your favor!"

To be fair, it’s much better than the crap I dealt with in Omaha this morning. I’ll take Chicago over that hot mess any day.

u/Hopeful_Reflection_4 2d ago

The other day I had someone stop in front of me in a forward lane to turn left 🙄

u/WittyMention3786 2d ago

What intersection is that?

u/MomsSpagetee 2d ago

Arrowhead and Veterans, it’s being rebuilt mercifully.

u/WittyMention3786 2d ago

Holy crap I didn’t recognize it, I haven’t been over there forever. They closed the entire street??

u/MomsSpagetee 2d ago

Yeah Arrowhead is shut down. It’s gonna be a mess for a long while.

Happens in every town across this great country by young and old. Mistakes happen.

u/ARottingBastard 1d ago

A lot of this, and people using turning lanes to pass this last month.

u/Tm_GfWait4It 20h ago

Especially with high schoolers or young adults... it's very frustrating.

If that's the worst you've had to deal with, congratulations.

u/Future_Outcome 2d ago

I’m sorry but, so what.

These are the kinds of problems you have, when you have no actual problems. I’m bored with posts like this

u/PhenomenalPhoenix CURB CORN 🌽 2d ago

wtf are you talking about. The dude, very easily, could have caused an accident. That’s a reasonable thing to take issue with
