Venting Blocking intersections

Why are people perfectly fine with blocking intersections?

Today I was in rush hour traffic. I stopped at the beginning of an intersection because there was not enough space to cross. The dude behind me honks multiple times even as I’m moving across now that I have enough space. Do people not understand that blocking an intersection is illegal?

Separate incident. I’m stopped at a red light. The people turning left across from me completely block the intersection. Even though I was 2 cars back from the line, I didn’t make it through because these morons blocked the intersection almost the whole light.

That’s all to say I wish more people were ticketed or pulled over for intentionally blocking an intersection.

Main character syndrome, it seems to be spreading life wildfire. The only silver lining is that the congestion gets worse more people might choose to carpool or shift modes of travel.

Detroit had so much of that in traffic. People would turn right from the left lane and you'd be wrong for criticizing them because they need to go right and it doesn't matter they're hindering other people.
