Green arrow--you have the right of way. Go.

Flashing red--stop. You don't have the right of way but you may go if the road is clear.

What's the problem?

Whoa, tiger. ;)

All I said was that I haven't seen it anywhere else I've lived.

Sounds like Cambodia too, however to add further irony it is perfectly legal to drive with no head lights at night (and apparently preferable :confused: ) but it is against the law and strictly enforced that you may NOT have your head lights on during the day time.

The center turn lane seems to be a mystery to New England drivers.

Center turn lane is striped as follows:

Center turn lane is signed as follows:

Lane is designed for drivers to turn left (off main road onto side street) without blocking traffing behind them.

Although illegal, an accepted use for these lanes (out West anyway), is to use these lanes to stop and wait for on-comming traffic to clear when turning left off the side street onto the main street.

ie, if the traffic going one direction is clear, but the other side is not, you pull into the center turn lane and wait for the other direction to clear.

This moves baffles New Englanders completely. The like to yield to you, and give dirty looks since they are too polite to use the horn.

I thought the center lane was the acceleration lane :D

It took six months after I bought my Mercedes before I figured out what this was. My wife always has it on, she thinks she has only turned on the front driving lights. They are both on the headlight switch.

Ugh, the benz in the simplest fog light configuration ever...my mother, however, has the same problem. But besides not knowing what they are/how to turn them on, why are americans clueless as to when to use them. Fog, extremely hazy/cloudy/rainy conditions ONLY and in these conditions they are a MUST for highway driving---they improve visibility 100%.
