Unofficial rules of the L.A. road
Sue Doyle compiles her realities of driving for the Daily News, and some are just so true:
If you're waiting behind cars in a left-turn lane, never expect to go when the arrow turns green.The first driver in line will almost always be distracted and fail to notice that the precious green arrow is lighted until the last few seconds before it again turns red.
Then the driver will punch the gas and get through the intersection - leaving the rest in line angrily muttering about dimwits until the next green arrow arrives.
Expect the cycle to repeat.
And some are just silly: "MapQuest does not work here. None of the roads are where they say they are, or go where they say they do. All of the freeway off- and on-ramps are moved each night." In my experience MapQuest's maps are OK more than 90% of the time. Directions, somewhat less so.
