are you aware that there's an impossible v2 out now which is supposed to be much much better than the original? I had v1, and it was OK but not something i would eat on an normal basis. gotta try the v2 somewhere.

Oh right. Been a long time since I actually a had a Whopper, but I would try this. I hate mayo, so it would be vegan for me since i'd ask for it my way, without. Then I wouold supply my own cheese, which I carry in my special cheese pocket at all times.

I can’t eat a burger without cheese on it. Well, I can, but I refuse!

Do people really not know that if a turning lane light is red but the other lanes' lights are green, that you still can't turn just because the other light is green? See this way too much.

If there’s no “no turn on red” sign you can turn if you’re yielding, right. Or do you mean people not slowing down and just going through it

don't even get me started with this and pennsylvania.

They keep adding all of these signs that say "right turn signal." so naturally when you see that sign and its fucking red that you can't turn. but you can! its the dumbest fucking user interface design ever. got into a big fight with my wife over it a few years ago.

309 is a very weird road in that NOBODY in the passing lane moves over when some is coming up behind them. I can’t figure it out

what's a better way if you want to inhibit right turns (usually because there's a parallel pedestrian walk sign) but allow traffic to continue straight? I agree the way it is now is slightly confusing, but I can't think of a better way to approach it. Sure you could add a 'no turn on red' sign, but that would just unnecessarily inhibit traffic when there are no pedestrians present.

its a road, not a highway. there's liek 4 exits that are 'expressway.' but north and south of that there's turns on both sides.

Mmmm yeah what I'm saying here is this person is in the left lane, red light. Two lanes next to them are green. Opposing traffic (AKA me), has a green light and turning right, and these people are trying to turn left at the same time as all of these cars coming through and turning right.

ha! and the reverse corollary is one i hit all the time. Left turn arrow- opposing traffic is red, but without a no-turn-on-red sign. I'm making my left, and the jabronis are making a right turn on red directly into my path of travel.

On a similar note to Bucky, is "Wait for Green" the same as "No Turn on Red"? I've been taking it as more of a gentle suggestion.

I always thought that the 'wait for green' was for a situation where the opposing traffic got the green light first, to hint to people that they just can't take off after the perpendicular light turns red.

Right. Of course all vegans know this and also anybody that is aware of how mayo is created (or has looked at the ingredients).

picturing a big fight over this is v funny to me.

but yeah if i see straight lanes green and right turn lane red, i treat it as a red light that i am allowed to turn red on unless it specifically says no turn on red.
