Fun fact, the town is pronounced “pea-buh-dee.”

just a clover leaf, mate. on some roads if you miss an exit you gotta wait til the next town to turn around

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, where is this not a thing? I get extreamly angry when I do this but again, it's the system and it works

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

If you miss the exit to our camp, you're going to the next town 15 miles away. One slip'll cost ya 30 miles.

You know as embarrassing as this is, thank you to everyone who gracefully misses an exit. It's much better that the dangerous morons who realize it and cut across to the exit lane with no warning afraid to miss their exit.

As the saying goes. A good driver sometimes misses their exit. A bad driver never does.

I saw a person attempting to REVERSE on the interstate once because they missed their exit

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I’ve seen that multiple times. I always slow down, get the tag number, and call the cops to report them. They don’t deserve to drive putting lives at risk like that

Edit: Thanks for the ~~one~~ two downvotes, ~~person~~ people who think losing 10 mins of travel time is worse than human death and suffering due to negligence

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Not even negligence, just pure fucking stupidity.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Me tooo!! It was wild

Good drivers miss exits, bad drivers never do.

[–] Ostrakon@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Am i missing something? What's the problem here? Just go through the cloverleaf, you maybe added a minute to your trip.

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Ostrakon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Could you elaborate? Truly not getting it.

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In Mass, that cloverleaf could add a long time. The merges between highways get very crowded very fast and everyone drives like an asshole, slowing things down even further.

[–] Ostrakon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

A cloverleaf would only add significant time if there was traffic, in which case you'd have to be pretty stupid to miss your exit since everything is happening in slow motion.

I've driven in a lot of places and MA isn't really any worse than anywhere else I've driven. CT is way worse in terms of sucky drivers IMO

West coaster now in the northeast…. All these states are like this! It’s bonkers! Where my public transportation??

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't you know that public transportation is woke? What are you, some kind of socialist?

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Where my public transportation??

NYC

DC has better trains than anywhere on the west coast

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

More, need more

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Public transit attracts New Yorkers, just look at New York. Do you want New Yorkers on top of your other issues? The incessant Budda Bings and Budda Booms at all hours of the day and night?

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Da faq, anyways let’s get the public transportation expanded!

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Did you take the photo while driving? On a highway, at night?

Don't do that, please.

[–] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 9 points 2 weeks ago

You can exit Massachusetts.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

In NJ it would be called a jughandle because they're allergic to left turns in a lot of places (and they do work well in context). Nice to see some jughandle maximization.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

In NJ it would be called a jughandle

That's not a jug-handle. That's a clover. A jug-handle is like the i80 on-ramp near Kennedy and Jackson in Hackensack.

And, if you're up near Paramus, you only know that exit had a 'U'-turn because of a sign as you pass UNDER the exit in question. It's why NJ drivers are so angry.

But I disagree that the left-exit is better than the jug-handle. Slow-movers in the passing lane is always dumb on a freeway -- it's like someone on a 10-speed in the left lane. Unless it's a highway and the left lane is a controlled turning lane, the left exit is the best way to a stressful day for everyone.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I was wondering if they still did that and of course they do. The Jersey Jughandle is an abomination of traffic engineering.

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I had to google it and am genuinely baffled. Anything to avoid roundabouts I suppose

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

They don't even trust motorists to fuel their own cars in New Jersey, how can they be trusted with a roundabout?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's not even a jughandle though...

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm originally from MA. And I hate this.

[–] Ashenlux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

This looks kinda fun to drive through. I'd miss my exit on purpose just to drive through that lol
