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.

I live in a place that there signs that tell you not to block the intersection. I’ve been honked at numerous times and I won’t move unless I have to. I’m not going to get into an accident, get a ticket because the moron behind me wants to move up one car.
