on a two or four lane highway, sure. on anything six lanes or larger, there definitely is.

Anything above 3 lanes is no longer a highway, it's a mental illness

They've gone to plaid.

Y'all realize they count all the lanes, not just the ones going one direction right? A 3 lane highway is 1 lane each direction and a suicide lane.

  1. who is they. They don't count like that here
  2. if you count like that, your previous point doesn't stand. In a three lane (1 direction) system you have two passing lanes. Easy. You still return as much to the right (or outside) as possible and sensible under the way you're driving. For example return to middle of you're still cruising faster than the lorries in the rightmost (or outermost) lane.

they is the uniform vehicular code. they do count like that where you are, you just don't pay attention

I guess technically it can be a 2+1 highway if you so will, but true.

Still, anything above 4 lanes is dangerously close to mental illness territory

lord give me the confidence of a man from a town with a population of 500

[-] VibeSurgeon@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago

I'm not sure what the implication here is to be honest - am I supposed to be the small town man in this scenario?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

yes. calling more than two lanes each direction being "mental illness" screams "i have never been in a crowd"

[-] VibeSurgeon@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Right. So I live in an apartment in the capital of my country, where transit moves far more people than the highways ever does.

While we're being derogatory, your opinion is incredibly American
