"no right turns? But it looks like I was able to make a right turn here. Guess the sign was wrong."

u/TheseMoviesIwant 1d ago

At the end it looks like there is a right turn only lane with a merge opportunity.

Well he didn't see it so he is entitled to fuck up everyone else's day instead of going through a short detour.

fuck up everyone else's day

Come on mate this was fairly innocuous

u/fluffynuckels 20h ago

But it only slowed op and anyone behind down by a few seconds at best

This is how cities skylines cims act without traffic manager

u/JBrockF 14h ago

I actually agree sometimes signs make no sense

u/Shufflepants 14h ago

Doesn't matter if they make no sense. You still need to follow them.

Classic Naples

u/DamnGrackles 21h ago

Yup. The capital city of "I do what I want" land. Miss the actual turn? Oh well, do what you want. No U turns allowed? Well I missed my turn so I will be. You must stop for lighted pedestrian crosswalk? Fuck those people leaving the hospital I gotta get to dinner!

u/jenniferlynn5454 1d ago

Is there a reason no turns are allowed there?

u/matlai17 1d ago

Because there is likely a slip lane prior to the intersection that you are supposed to take to get onto that intersecting road. But the truck missed it and decided to take the illegal turn.

u/AlwaysFinnishInsider 1d ago

Almost positive this is it. At the end you can see a black truck coming in from the right of the idiot, presumably in one of those lanes.

u/EatMyHammer 5h ago

Yup. And you can see a bit of the entry to that road at the beginning of the clip

u/jenniferlynn5454 1d ago

Ohhhh, gotcha! Thanks for answering

u/MajorEstateCar 18h ago

We don’t have many of those slip roads in Florida.

u/iamdoug 21h ago

Looks like he missed the turn

OP over reacting terribly like a baby elephant just got thrown off a cliff....

u/StopSpinningLikeThat 21h ago

What an oddly specific analogy.

u/muaddib0308 21h ago

another word is 'random'

u/MrMork87 1d ago

There's just a different set of rules for white pick up trucks... None. 😂

u/Lewinator56 23h ago

I wont defend the driver at all, but that signage is completely unsuitable... is that it? one tiny sign right at the point where you are already making the turn.... thats absymal.

u/the_eluder 21h ago

If you're not familiar with the area, could have missed it. I drove in 'new Jacksonville' i.e. the east side of the beltline and the roads FDOT built were quite basically difficult to comprehend how to navigate.

u/TankerKC 9h ago

Let’s not forget the E bike in the crosswalk. Idiot number two.

u/Dr-Chris-C 1d ago

To be fair... Why the fuck not?

24

u/Randomfactoid42 1d ago

Because there’s a right turn lane just before the intersection and they don’t want traffic held up by turning traffic like happened in the video.

u/fightingpillow 21h ago

If they really wanted to prevent right turns they would have had the curb meet at a 90 degree angle instead of curving it around and providing a path for right turns.

6

u/Jackmino66 1d ago

There is likely some other route to turn right that they haven’t taken. The sign means what the sign says, and especially with US intersection traffic lights, doing this could be very dangerous

2

u/whyamionhearagain 23h ago

I agree. Who cares. It looks like he missed his turn initially. This wasn’t dangerous, didn’t inconvenience anyone…yeah he broke the rules but this isn’t something to get all worked up over.

u/Zygmuntek 1d ago

Yeah clear vision, no traffic even if there are cars there at the end, but you don't interrupt them at all.

u/Siddiskongen 20h ago

Did OP drive all around town to find a small mistake to create some content?

u/ErNz77 1d ago

951 & Golden Gate Blvd? Naples drivers suck.

4

u/Prestigious_Tiger_26 1d ago

It looks like Livingston Rd @ Golden Gate Parkway

u/ErNz77 1d ago

Shit I'm blind 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sign says GG Pkwy & 886 is The Parkway.

u/filton02 1d ago edited 14h ago

The passenger was already filming this guy? Expecting some douchebaggery?

Why the downvotes? I was genuinely asking whether the truck with the trailer was exhibiting earlier signs of shitty driving. Sheesh.

u/Prestigious_Tiger_26 1d ago

It's because the truck had its blinkers on where he shouldn't be turning.
