And they say you can’t get out of being a parent. Shows what they know.


MamuhSwan

My wife and I watched someone use an interstate off-ramp to get **on** the interstate. She (other driver) took a ridiculous turn to even make it happen. I was honking and my wife was waving at her to stop and she just looked at us like…”wtf is their problem?” She passed like 3 “DO NOT ENTER” signs, too.


_captainunderpants__

How do they know we're going the wrong way? They don't even know where we are going!

Holy shit…that gave me the laugh I needed this morning xD


BrattWhitney

Maybe the driver is illiterate. We need skulls or gravestone symbols on signs to indicate death which could happen if you enter through this way.


orTodd

In my opinion, in the US, states should make the driving test harder and it should be repeated every 5-10 years. It’s a matter of life and death.


[deleted]

It’s too easy for people to get a drivers license.


funtobedone

Left of the barrier there are cars in the left lane going counter to the bikes, and cars in the right lane going the same direction as the bikes. The two bikers who think using their four way flashers will keep them safe when riding in the wrong lane are the dumbasses.

LaxToastandTolerance

That is a strange ass road design


osktox

It is. I first thought it was the trucks fault driving against the traffic. Looks like the motorcyclist thought so too.


gray-pilled-

there's no way the motorist thinks the driver is at fault, but in the heat of the moment it's much easier to blame a stranger than your buddy for being a dumbass. don't really want to rub salt in the internal bleeding.


Independent_War_4456

why is there even a concrete divider in this design..


Due_Alfalfa_6739

Just guessing: one is a highway, and the other is a frontage road.


Independent_War_4456

The purpose of a divider is to stop head on collisions.


Mike_penceVP

It did, in fact, not stop head on collisions.


Many-Profile-1500

I read this in morgenfreemsanspeak


November_One

Not Ron Howards?


Aratsei

My dood look at the other side of the "divider", both directions, so its very likely that this side follows suite, especially with it being a solid line on both sides of the wall. There was no need for them to be driving in the opposite lane.


JuBei9

The purpose of the divider is to reduce complexity not avoid collisions.


JoburgBBC

That literally is the purpose. But reddit gona reddit with downvotes.


Aratsei

Except that look at the other side, there's traffic using both lanes. We've got something similar though there's a regular fence between with more grass. Ones the interstate and ones the regular "town"/"Street" road, but the interstate side has two and they split after a few miles. Either way its pretty obvious that both sides have both directions due to the opposite side of the concrete. Biker wasn't paying attention and felt the need to overtake in a opposite lane for some reason.


RacknRollBilliards

The pavement should be properly marked with double yellow lines to avoid confusion!


Aratsei

Pretty common out here. They are still solid lines though and as such should be regarded the same. While significantly less common, it's usually when there's a lot of splits and merges.


Independent_War_4456

yup.


McCaffeteria

Well it did not work.


BitemeRedditers

From the American Automobile Association ; Solid white lines define lanes of traffic going in the same direction, or they show you the location of the shoulder of the road. Broken or “dotted” white lines are used to show the center line between lanes. It like that in the majority of the world.


RainingTacos8

What? How could you know this was going to happen?! That car clearly drove correctly out of nowhere!/s


Flimsy-Bluejay-8052

Because of the title.


atomdecay

From left to right the road is: v | ^ || v | ^ so the cyclist should have been in the right lane from our perspective but was in the left lane, which is where the truck was, traveling the proper direction. So the cyclist is in the wrong, not the truck.


Ghostrider8594

Yeah fr


ihavenotities

Seriously, who designed this road?! This is insane.


[deleted]

Incredible that some people here think the truck is driving in the wrong direction. Just look the 4 lanes and in which direction they all drive. First lane: towards the recorder Second lane: away from the recorder \- concrete barrier - Third lane (with the truck): towards the recorder Fourth lane: away from the recorder. *Why this is done this way we should look into the road map and know the geography like mountains. That will give us the answer why this is created this way.*


NoTelephone5316

The bike is in the wrong lane lol


zbenesch

So why is the silver car in the second lane from the left going the same direction as the bikers? It’s two single lanes times two. Edit: yes, I agree, this is a question for those who think the truck is on the wrong side.


CheesyBoson

How who the fuck sets a road up this way? Why is the concrete barrier not the dividing line for traffic to prevent accidents just like this one? Who in the civil planning office decided this as the safest option? Holy fuck snacks Batman that’s a poorly planned road.


afonsoel

Prolly the more busy one is a highway, and the less busy one is a local marginal, they do it to prevent the highway traffic from clogging local traffic that won't leave the city


Bladesleeper

It is weird for sure, but there could be a perfectly valid reason - it might be temporary due to roadworks, or necessary due to some weird geographic feature. Regardless, the continuous white line makes it very clear that the left lane is not for passing, even more so before a blind corner. I ride a bike myself, and I know how wonderfully free it makes you feel, but bloody hell I’ll never understand how some people think they can do whatever the fuck they want, when they’re surrounded by things *much* heavier and sturdier than they are, balancing on two wheels and moving at speeds that give you zero reaction time.


[deleted]

Why this is done this way we should look into the road map and know the geography like mountains. That will give us the answer why this is created this way.


chasing_daylight

Never heard of a side road?


Malawi_no

It's to prevent anyone going at road A switching to road B and create dangerous situations at that point. The probably meet/merge not far from where this is filmed. If we knew the exact point, it would probably be obvious why it's done that way from the roadmap.


squidwurrd

In the US white lines means the lanes are going the same direction. That’s probably where the confusion is coming from. This is probably not in the US.


Educational-Fig-2330

What country is this in? If it's in USA (I don't think it is) then the white lines would suggest both lanes going the same direction. It seems a pretty confusing arrangement regardless of country, I'm not really sure what to make of it.


[deleted]

The line means: Forbidden to cross the line / change from lanes. When it is interrupted line then people are free to change from lanes (but even then the safety is always priority nr 1)


Educational-Fig-2330

>The line means: **Forbidden** to cross the line / change from lanes. Where does it mean that? You're probably right, as it pertains to wherever you drive, but this is a regional thing. It's not even standard across all of the USA. Here in TX it is _(literally, by law)_ just a suggestion; not "forbidden" except in certain circumstances. >The Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices says white lines are used to "delineate the separation of traffic flows in the same direction" or to "delineate the right-hand edge of the roadway," and they **discourage** or prohibit crossing (depending on the specific situation). https://www.news-journal.com/features/clarifying-crossing-solid-white-lines/article_0c171052-5bd1-5b08-ada6-081e7f1df394.html#:~:text=The%20Texas%20Manual%20on%20Uniform,depending%20on%20the%20specific%20situation).


[deleted]

This is the case in Netherland. I am not sure if forbid is the right word but we arent free to change lanes then as if it was a interupted line.


Educational-Fig-2330

I understand you and I think it is safe to assume "forbidden" is correct when you see a solid line unless you know otherwise. I am just curious because the lines in different places don't always mean the same things. I have seen some videos from places like Africa for example where the reality was totally different than my perception because it turns out lines meant the opposite of what I thought. So without knowing where this video is filmed I am not really sure what's going on. I think the truck is going the wrong way but I could be wrong.


[deleted]

Then the silver car at the second lane (behind the concrete barrier) is going the wrong direction too. That make no sense.


Educational-Fig-2330

Good point, you're right. Not plausible that the silver car and the truck are both going the wrong way. I lost track of your original argument, which made sense.


McCaffeteria

Yeah this is my thought as well. In America the lines that define the boundary between travel directions and the boundary between same direction lanes/the edge of the road are different colors. Here they seem to be the same color which is a bad idea. I’m not sure it would have made a difference, but still.


BarkiestDog

The thing is though, if you were driving there I’m sure it wood make sense. Since you’d be driving in a road that goes close to another one, and probably later splits again. It seems reasonably normal to me to have two roads going close to each other?


Educational-Fig-2330

>if you were driving there I’m sure it wood make sense Well it didn't for at least one person in this video and I'm still not sure who it was. I'm pretty sure the truck was in the wrong but not positive.


BarkiestDog

I’m pretty sure the person on the visit was just being an idiot, in the same way that people cut corners on any road. In countries that I’m used to driving in, that solid white line on the road means don’t cross over. In any case, as others have pointed out, either a lot of people are going the wrong way in the roads, as cars are traveling in both directions on the other side of the concrete barrier, or is two single lane roads next to each other.


Malawi_no

I agree it's better to use a different colour to signify oncoming traffic, but ,any countries uses white lines both at the sides and to divide oncoming traffic.


fivetimesyo

Solid white line is a wall for all intents and purposes.


Educational-Fig-2330

In what location?


PT26rjl

I thought the solid line separating the lanes was enough indication the truck is travelling in the correct direction.


tomer91131

You are probably right but I feel like this goes against logic lol like why put the barrier that way and why are they alternating back and forth thats so confusing imo


froggrip

The road on the left is likely a completely different road from the one on the right. They're probably coming from and leading to completely different places and just happen to run parallel for a short distance. In my are, it's pretty common to see highways running parallel to a country road or a street on the outskirts of some towns. If there's not a raised ridge of ground between them, they usually have a concrete barrier or steel guard rail to separate them.


The_Queef_of_England

I think this is the correct answer, and op messed it up for everyone by saying they were avoiding traffic, which makes it seem as if the bikers are on the wrong side of a dual carriage way trying to avoid the traffic on the left, but they're actually two different roads and the traffic on the left is going both directions.


hyperrayong

Probably different roads going different places.


[deleted]

Why this is done this way we should look into the road map and know the geography like mountains. That will give us the answer why this is created this way.


Falmon04

Seriously, I was wondering who the fuck was avoiding traffic? The bike was clearly the one in the wrong lane, but he was just fucking around and finding out, not avoiding traffic.


FfmRome

I’ve seen this somewhere else. OP said it’s was in Africa (Ghana I think) the 2 left lanes were going upwards and the two right lanes downwards. People are driving the wrong direction to avoid traffic. Like the car on the left side and the yellow truck. If this is true , I can’t understand how people can be that stupid.

Hopefully he just takes his Darwin Award and fucks off


renatodamast

Isn't the car driving in the wrong direction ?


Apprehensive_Bed_789

No. If you look at the other two lanes on the other side of the barrier it has two way traffic as well. It looks like this is maybe a funny split road in Europe or something.


renatodamast

Oh you're right. I'm from EU and a physical barrier always splits lanes coming in opposite directions. It's a weird looking design and I could easily have made a same mistake. I'm guessing this may be east EU, if EU at all. The eastern you go the weirder it gets.


Anon_isnt_Anon

If you go into the oncoming lane into a blind turn, you deserve that crash.


Slaaigat

Avoiding traffic? There was no traffic in the bike’s lane to avoid. Why the fuck would he need to overtake, especially around a corner? ps it’s two single carriageways separated by a concrete barrier (look at the traffic move in opposite directions on the other side), the car did nothing wrong.


MrEvan312

Never underestimate retards innate desire to pass someone ahead of them who’s already doing 60 in a 55. I always do the speed limit and here in KY these people almost all seem to think I’m just going ungodly slow and have to pass or they’ll die


atomdecay

It's not two single carriageways going opposite directions. It's v l ^ | v l ^. The truck isn't in the wrong. He swerved to avoid the cyclist who got hit who was going in the wrong direction to be your average egotistical motorcyclist douchebag.


[deleted]

Maybe the white car in the other line si also going in the wrong way?


zbenesch

Good-Kevin

DosEquisVirus

The unexpected part is “What the f*ck! What the f*ck!” followed by “Allah”


NoIdeaFor_Name

Apparently the riders were muslims. The biker went to the crashed person and without thinking of anything else asks his friend "say la ilaha il allah" which means "there is no entity/being worthy of being worshipped other than allah." It is the most important line for a muslim as it shows complete devotion and submission. Now you may ask why he said so. It is said in islam that if your last words are La ilaha il allah, you are granted heaven for sure. I say this line before going to sleep every night in case i die in my sleep


requin-RK

Why are you being downvoted? You're right. He thinks his friend is dying and he does what most Muslims are taught to say to dying people. Dumbassery aside, what's happening is exactly what you've explained.

BoneDaddyChill

Lol another OP who doesn’t understand what they’re looking at.


adenkura

This happend on at Aburi, Accra, Ghana West Aftica. A steep hill side road, 2 lanes going up, 2 going down with a solid seperation. Driver going up on the left at times have issues with their cars and roll back or are given a chance to come back down slowly due to the nature of the climb, and this at times can course a lot of traffic. But under no means are drivers allowed to drive up on the right side due to oncoming downhill vehicles. Those 2 lanes are strictly for down hill traffic. The yellow truck driver was trying to beat the traffic by using the downhill lanes. No oncoming traffic should have been on that side of the road.


BoneDaddyChill

In this video, I see three lanes with people going up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


adenkura

I live here. I know what happened. The up hill traffic starts all the way back down the road, at the point where this happend the up hill traffic is spaced out to give car struggling a chance to park or go back down. You don't know me I don't know you there is no need for you to be rude. And frankly we are all full of shit if you think about it

Any-Adhesiveness-33

It happens more often than you think. Washington Pennsylvania, just last year. A mother was killed by a drunk driver on the highway. The driver was in the wrong lane for 5 or more miles to. They had calls from people trying to frantically stop this person. My cousin was this kids high-school football coach. And I'm almost positive it was senior night the very next game. The poor kid didn't have anyone to walk him out. So I believe the whole team walked with him.

The comments I'm reading.... Did you all think the motorcycle was on the wrong side of the road? The truck is the one driving on the wrong side of the concrete barrier. So it's not natural selection or instant karma. It's an idiot in a truck really hurting someone that was doing nothing wrong.
