They had variable speed limits on the I-270 loop in St. Louis for a few years, but it seems like they always stayed at 60mph. Even on a completely empty 8 lane interstate at 1am... 60mph.

I never drove that way during rush hour, but I imagine they lowered them during congestion. It seems like it would have been more useful to raise the limits when the road is empty.

Anyway, they're gone now, and the limit pretty much 60 all long 270. Apparently people hated them... probably because they were set at fucking 60mph all the time.

[–]dpanic27 [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

They would change the speed onthose signs when I-270 was congested ahead. The issue people had was that they didn't work to keep traffic flowing because they would be set at 60 while everyone was driving 70+. Then they would say oh it is congested ahead lets lower the speed to 50, but everyone continuedbto drive the same speed. There was also a small issue with people not trusting that the speed wouldn't change after they passed a sign and they would get a ticket for driving 65 in a 50 when they thought they were driving 65 in a 60.

We have these signs on I-5 in Seattle and I never thought about what would happen if the speed changed after you passed them...that said they have them often enough you couldn't get very far before seeing a new speed limit sign.

In my experience, it often gets down to 30mph during congestion and it doesn't make it move any better.

[–]skimbro [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

There was something about the legality, people were claiming it was illegal and unfair that the speed could be altered, and there was no law or ordinance on the books to address this, and it would've been a fair bit of trouble to address this, so they just removed them. I really did like the concept of these signs, but they never were fully executed.

Highest speed limit I've ever seen was 80 mph in Utah on I-70. As soon as you cross over the Utah-Colorado border, the limit drops to 75 mph. It's a straight road with minimal traffic. I don't see the issue with keeping it at 80 mph.

[–]duderex88 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Same thing with I10 on the west side of San Antonio it's 80 in a hilly place. Then you get to new Mexico and it is straight no hills and 70 to 75.

Road is 90, everyone is doing 100 and could be doing 120. Why is it lower? Because some idiots can't drive properly and we "need" to cater for them.

If conditions are actually dangerous to drive in, you can actually get reckless. It's like a cop should probably pull someone over doing 45 in 1 foot of snow and ice even though it's only 45. Same with heavy rain.

Going slightly over the speed limit in order to overtake someone. If I'm in a 100 KPH zone and sitting behind a caravan that is on 96 most of the way, and goes even slower on corners and such where I CAN'T overtake, I am not going to sit at a perfect 100kph and crawl past at the rate of 4kph (which would take I guess about 30 seconds if allowing for 50 odd metres), which at 100kph ends up being about 800 metres to overtake? Screw that!

With streaming, although you download a video in its entirety, you don't necessarily have the entire thing at one single point in time. I guess in theory, you only need as little as a frame at a time, which you can delete before downloading the next frame. In practice you need to buffer multiple frames, but they don't need to be stored in memory one used.

When I was living in Germany I used to get the nastiest looks whenever I'd jaywalk. It'd usually be across 2-lane roads with great visibility in all directions, but they glared at me like I was some hardened criminal. . . As if to say "If one must wait zen all must wait."

[–]Direwolfanddragon 12ポイント13ポイント  (14子コメント)

I think you got the looks because of you being an adult and you should be an example for children. Children can't really distinguish if a situation is dangerous or not.

Right. That's why they should listen to their parents. It is not my responsibility. By the same logic I shouldn't smoke or drink in public due to the health risks that children can't grasp.

It's a popular but incoherent argument against jaywalking.

That's ridiculous, where i was brought up we were all taught good judgement in crossing roads. And there were very few actual crossings with lights. No one i know ever got hit, nor did anyone at my school, nor did anyone i had heard of.

IMHO that's the only legit reason not to jaywalk if there is clear visibility and no traffic. Whenever I walk across a red light I check for two things: police and kids.

The term 'jaywalking' was coined by early car manufacturers to vilify pedestrians when the dangers of cars were becoming apparent - "A jaywalker was killed" sounds better than "A car killed a pedestrian"

They actually re-purposed an existing term. You know how you go to a big city the first time and you get stuck in the pedestrian crush and you don't know how to navigate dense foot-traffic? People get annoyed 'cause they're trying to squeeze around you while you check maps and read signs and whatnot?

That was jaywalking. "Jay" meaning a country bumpkin.

Walking down the street and putting change into all the expiring parking meters.

Yes, this act of good samaritanism is somehow illegal in tons of municipalities.

[–]Flater420 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

The reason it is illegal is so no one can declare themselves "parking attendant of Main Street" and make sure everyone can park as long as they want.

The whole reason parking meters are introduced is to make sure people shorten their stay (so more people can visit without having to park a huge distance away). Allowing people to fill others' parking meters goes directly against that idea.

That being said though, while it is illegal in Belgium to pay for someone's parking ticket, we are now shifting to paying via SMS, meaning you can stay as long as you want. So the old reason no longer applies to the new system, people can now park as long as they want.

I had a police officer come into school and he said something similar, but it doesn't count for 30mph. If you're in a 30, 32 is enough.

[–]Shorvok 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

There is actually a system for properly assigning speed limits where you take a bell curve of how fast people drive and make the speed limit at the 80th percentile.

This means that driving above the speed limit will feel unsafe to most people but people comfortable driving at a faster rate will not be constantly looking at the speedometer and searching for cops.

However in the US they use that data to set the speed limit in such a way that will generate the maximum amount of speeding tickets and revenue for the municipality.

[–]TheSNStang 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

In Virginia they pull your ass over for speeding in a heartbeat. Especially in places like Fairfax county or through Haymarket corporate. I've been pulled over in Haymarket corporate for doing 27 in a 25. At least that's what the cop told me, my speedometer was saying 25

[–]whorestolemywizardom [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Protip: Cop tickets start out at 10-15mph and go up from there, they have to check the box according to how fast you were speeding, so 9mph over is your best bet.

Block parties are different as they're typically permitted events, though. Even the most restrictive states have exemptions for that. Anyway, there's not a statewide ban on alcohol in public in PA, but counties and municipalities have their own laws on it. You might be able to chug right out of the liquor bottle in Erie as you cross the street, but you'd be paying up for a ticket in Philly just for sipping a beer on the sidewalk.

[–]grimmalkin 21ポイント22ポイント  (2子コメント)

Because this law is used as an excuse to arrest someone perceived as a trouble maker, if you are pissing a cop/figure of authority off and have done nothing wrong they can't touch you, but if you use ANY profanity in public they can arrest you for breaching section 5 of the Public Order act. you may think that you will not be swearing, but the chances are something you have said can be construed as being offensive. Another one that gets used in these circumstances is section 2 of the protection from harassment act. in this case you don't even need to swear, if someone tells you to stop bothering them and you persist you can be locked up for it. This was introduced to protect vulnerable people from obnoxious dickheads but is now being used as a tool to suppress public dissent. You pitch up and protest about whatever you want to kick off about and they tell you to move on, if you carry on you are now classed as harassing them and can be arrested for it. Chances are you will not be prosecuted, but it is a useful legal tool for targeting mob leaders and removing them.

Come to the UK and tell a policeman to "Fuck Off".

You'll be warned once if you're lucky and the it's a section 5 public order offence. It's not like they try and catch people who've sworn in public before but if you're currently causing a disturbance with foul language, you'll likely be arrested after a warning.

You can however invite a policeman into your own home and call him a cunt as long as you do it quietly enough so as not to disturb neighbours... Good luck with that though.

Perfectly legal in countries and states with a Castle Doctrine. Of course, common sense still applies, but if you see an intruder in your own house that doesn't immediately flee upon realizing you are there, you are free to open fire without warning and without waiting for the intruder(s) to attack you.

That's the point of Castle Doctrine.

when i was younger(and considerably dumber), i jaywalked across a busy motorway intersection and got hit by a slow moving car hidden behind a truck. was only going about 10 kph so i saw in coming and just jumped on the bonnet and rode it for 10 meters, then just b4 they stopped i hopped of and apologized to the old woman driving. as i walked off down the footpath, a cop who had seen this pulled up, rolled his window down, and called me a fucking retard, then rolled up his window and drove off. this is in NZ.

Fireworks.

USA, Most states, launching fireworks are illegal. There are even idiotic laws where in Pennsylvania, if you are a resident, you can not buy or display fireworks without a permit, but if you are a non-resident, you can buy and display all the fucking fireworks you want. The kicker? In all surrounding states, fireworks are illegal to have at all. This results in being arrested. Proof: Was arrested trying to bring fireworks home from a trip. Lost my car, lost the fireworks, had to go to court in Staten Island. UGH. EDIT: Not all surrounding states. All Surrounding states EXCEPT Ohio.

Comedic Interlude: I was born in NY, lived in MA, VA, and NC. All states where FW are illegal. All I want to do with my summer is shoot pretty rockets.

In Ohio you can buy fireworks but it's illegal to set them off in the state. So at the time of purchase you are required to sign a form promising you will take them out of state before setting them off. This requirement to sign this statement was called the Liar's Law, for obvious reasons. It was so stupid they recently repealed it. Now when you buy fireworks in Ohio, you don't have to sign a form promising not to set them off in state. It's STILL ILLEGAL to do so. You are just no longer legally required to sign a form promising not to break the law.

Progress.

In PA, if youre a nonresident you can't display the fireworks either. They're purchased with the expectation you're leaving the state with them.

Listening to Chthonic in China.

Chthonic (閃靈) is a Taiwanese metal band that makes no secret of their support of the Taiwanese Independence movement. Their lyrics generally include anti-fascist, anti-communist, and pro-separation themes, so, naturally, the CCP is not terribly fond of them. They are, for all intents and purposes, banned in mainland China.

I happen to currently live in mainland China, but am a fan of Chthonic. The VPN is a friend of mine in this case, as it allows me to stream the music of such bands while I am here.

Are you fucking kidding

The gas prices better be cheap to compensate

[–]mountainwampus [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Cars use more gas while in neutral (enough to idle, unless you shut the car off, but that's insane) than they do when in gear going downhill (almost zero). I've tested this with an OBD-II scanner and Torque (android app). Coasting in neutral is also a safety risk. It's dumb in every way.

Leaving the scene of a minor accident without calling the police/exchanging insurance. For example: You bump some guy in stop and go traffic, but no damage is done to either car. Both drivers decide to not call police or anything of that nature and leave the scene on good terms. This is actually a misdemeanor in most states.
