Reply to comment by rossboss711 in People who stop because they’ve missed their turn on a rotary- do you realize it’s a circle? by roadtrip-ne

I've had friends who grew up in Boston tell me seriously that someone turning left has the right of way. That plus all the waving other people around makes driving here so unpleasant

Unpleasant... And - Unsafe...!!! Don't stop, suddenly, when you've got the right-of-way to wave in someone from a Stop Sign. You could get rear ended or worse. It's not being polite or nice... That's being dangerous.

Sorry a sign told me to show courtesy to side street traffic, excuse me while I slam on my brakes with a line of cars behind me

I know the signs you're talking about, and they make me irrationally angry.

People who think they can jump the green light and turn left ahead of oncoming traffic at a light drive me nuts. It’s cold comfort that if I were to smash into them they’d be at fault.

Lol there is a Wikipedia for a "Pittsburgh/Boston Left" describing an informal right of way. Its one thing if someone pitties you and waves ya through but I hate it when people just fucking go for it.
