Is this really how you’re supposed to turn left when there’s a median?

In Germany

Weak troll, Boat

Left turns are trashy.

I do it the correct way as much as possible. But you’re right about it not being practical when there’s a turn lane leading to the turn slot and a line of cars waiting to turn.

Not only will you not be able to see past the waiting cars, you’d be blocking them from turning if you moved forward enough to see.

Still, I get livid when someone does it wrong when that’s not the situation.

What does this have to do with covid masks?

Right it’s not practical if there’s a line of cars on both sides trying to turn. How do the lines of cars cross paths and keep the flow going?

That is the most awkward median width you can have.

no median - like the left

wider median (e.g. a freeway with an underpass you go through) - like the right because you have a while before the cars cross

I don't even know how the traffic control works for a one car length wide median, seems perfect for a lot of wrecks.

In theory any oncoming would leave enough space to cross but people are idiots and that doesn't happen.

That, plus the fact that a line of traffic in the second scenario means you can't see oncoming anyway, is why I continue to turn as in 1.

Technically wrong, practically more effective.
