I’m pretty sure it’s saying you can’t turn left onto the road to the left of the intersection. Looks like some pretty bad road design.
I didn’t realize we were here to play geoguessr but you win!
I’m gonna say it’s easy when the street names are in the photo.
Easier, definitely. And a unique street name. But it’s quite hard to read the cross street name. All I can see is the “E DR” at the end. I probably wouldn’t have bothered from just seeing the one street and no other text.
I got lucky with Google Maps highlighting the apartment building in the background as a POI to match up with.
It’s also easier when there are no rules saying you can’t enter that road name into Google maps.
Atlanta and Peachtree Rd/Ln/Dr/Ave/Way/Plaza/literally 65 more variations of this say hello.
I think it makes giving directions easier. Everything in this town is ‘just off Peachtree’

I understand the intent from your graphic, but given the signage, I would not have known what they expected of me.
The painting on the road should indicate a 45° left instead of 90° left.
More like 135°.
Relative to forward travel it’s 45°.
True, although since you’re specifically referring to the angle indicated by the painting on the road, referring to the angle of the painted arrow itself would be clearer.
? I’m saying the painting on the road should be painted as 45° instead of its current 90°.
I think they’re saying the arrow would be drawn at a 135° angle compared to the “vertical” base.
You’re absolutely correct. I just thought it made for a funny photo. It’s very on brand for this city to do dumb shit like this.
I’ve been confused and made dangerous choices in traffic for less stupid reasons. Not trying to deflect all blame but considering the lowest common denominator, road construction and signs really need to pay much more attention to the limits of the human brain.
Half of us have an IQ below 100 and we could be driving in darkness, with rain pouring down and facing traffic that shines its headlights into our eyes. The road needs to have an affordance that suggests to the driver how to drive correctly, instead of causing confusion when you already have a lot of traffic to keep track of.
Bad road design for sure, but the sign still could be better. For example they could make a custom sign, draw the intersection and mark explicitly that you can’t turn to Oakwood.
Or just have the sign arrow be more than 90°

This is exactly the type of content i was hoping for when i clicked on the comments. Thank you for all you hard work sluthing for an explination of a random photo. Its truly gods work that your doing.
Florida. No other explanation needed.
For real. It’s not even the dumbest shit I’ve seen today. Someone missed an entrance onto i95, so they drove up the offramp intended for the opposite direction. Got 50ft before an oncoming car made them realize their mistake.
I overheard someone in a court house trying to argue with who I assumed was their assigned counsel that it’s totally legal to enter on an off ramp, as long as you’re going in reverse.
Sometimes construction makes for unexpected detours.
(I should probably mention that it’s also a dead end road, so no backing out)
They really said “fuck that house in particular!”
Gotta jump that roof like a ramp
The guy that owns that white car already fell into this trap and got stuck, said screw it, parked, and just moved into the house.
that’s the sign for “make a new friend in a yellow house with red shingles”
That’s Miami. Nobody pays attention to street signs anyway.
Exactly. I assume that’s why they didn’t bother doing the proper signage.
Pa la pinga.
So just… Detour through the hedge?
I just did the same thing. No left turn onto Oakwood Dr.
I AM RENT A CAR run by I. M. Weasel.
You can’t, there’s a do not enter sign on the other side.
Time to levitate. But there’s probably a TFR in effect.
Only if GPS tells you to.
Seems the mildly infuriating part is the left out information.
Yeah, there’s something left of frame.
Probably sasquatch
The Detour sign says that you should go through the ‘Do Not Enter’…
Full speed ahead!
Auditor trap.
many signs should really be treated as suggestions. so many roads here with zero fucking business being 35 here

Alright nervous as I am to ask, what does this mean?
