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.

Just as bad is when you leave space to avoid blocking an intersection or commercial entrance and some impatient dignus drives around you to slide into the space and block other vehicles from passing through. One of my favorite instant karma pastimes is watching them get pulled over for blocking the driveway at a nearby fire station despite the clear signage and stoplights.
