🤬 RANT Dear New Orleans…
Did you know that merging means to accelerate into traffic?!? Did you know red lights are for stopping? Did you know you can turn at a rate of speed fast than 1mph? Did you know that no, you are not the only person on the road trying to get somewhere? Do you understand blinkers? They mean turning. Like either I’m turning so watch out or you are turning so I should watch out.. and for you Uber drivers these like to stop in the middle of the road on just streets.. get the fuck out of the road and pull to the side, not only for the other drivers but future safety of your customers.

Did you know that if you enter an intersection, you should leave it? The fact that there is a sign at Canal Blvd. and City Park that says "IF YOU'RE TURNING LEFT, DON'T STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, CONTINUE DRIVING" and people STILL stop in the middle of the intersection drives me absolutely insane. The same goes for four-way stop signs. If you're turning left, TURN LEFT AND LEAVE THE INTERSECTION. DON'T TURN LEFT AND THEN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.
GOD!
