Lumpkin Street idiots

Annoyance, Driving

I get so f*cking frustrated every time I am on Lumpkin crossing Broad Street because some idiot decides to sneak over to the right hand turn lane to bypass everyone in the straight/left turn lane so they can go straight across! The RIGHT arrow is there for a reason!
I especially hate it when I have to shift lanes and turn right onto Clayton because there is some jerk in the lane who ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. Waiting a few seconds behind the rest of us in the CORRECT lane won't kill you.

ME TOO. I'm the original poster and I usually ride my bike. It's kind of scary/frustrating when you have to stop on a hill that steep because someone doesn't understand what the bike lane is for.

and yeah, so what if it used to be 4 lanes? That's irrelevant. The arrows are very clear and easy to understand. Not abiding by them is dangerous, especially in an area so saturated by cars, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.

But it might kill a pedestrian someday. And to the first comment, I think bike lanes (anything to reduce cars on campus) is a good thing. Plus, it really doesn't matter how it "used" to be. Not that you're really saying it does....

Oh, and I really hate Lumpkin b/c of how students will use the bike lane as a parking lane to pick up their friends.
