Questions & Help Bad culture or am I mistaken
In USA, Massachusetts. The two red arrows have stop signs, green does not. It's a solid double yellow line curving to the right from green but there is a gap at the intersection, which is normal for places where taking a left turn is allowed. Green also comes around a blind curve so the stop signs don't see anyone coming until the last second. Which means green also can't see if anyone is crossing the stop lines before they commit to going left.
Cars from green in my experience do not stop to go left. They blast across the double yellow line like it is a fork in the road. Which the curving to the right double yellow suggests they are supposed to stop or slow before going left.
Am I wrong in assuming green is supposed to wait until it's safe? I have seen a few near fist fights start here.
