    Default Road-work around Deerfoot Meadows mall/Southland merge

    It's becoming a total clusterfvck around there during rush hour. Apparently a dashed line means you can cross it, even if it's the shoulder-lane

    I've especially been getting a kick out of the right-lane vigilantes who feel the need to drive in the right lane and shoulder lanes at 20kph in order to stop shoulder lane drivers


    Calgary drivers at their finest

    I've avoided the road now or else I rage out.

    Drives me insane how stupid or ignorant people are.

    Yeah, what's with that... driving on the shoulder or wherever trying to prevent someone from sneaking by.... that makes me laugh.

    I was going to post the same thing. Almost saw somebody rip into the sign at deerfoot south and glenmore while attempting a last minute lane change (Got confused by dashed lines). I would have had to pull over and rofl.

    My absolute favorite is the people who all of a sudden realize that the shoulder isn't a lane and flip out trying to get back onto the highway.

    Without solid lines, nobody has any idea what they're doing. This proves the incompetence of the Driver's Ed program and Defensive Driving in general.

    This is why when it snows 3 lane roads become 2, 2 lanes become 1 etc
