Steve M wrote:Another nice video Paul. I watched the whole thing and made a few observations. The roadsides seem very clean of litter. You know how to navigate a roundabout. (They are recent here and some drivers are scared of them) I saw some overhead power lines at one point, didn't think you all had them there. And finally.. I didn't see any yellow paint lines on the roads to indicate a no passing zone (overtaking), I am puzzled by those jagged white lines (on the road) seeming to appear near intersections.
Just a side note on roadside litter, here a lot of people who have committed small offences can volunteer for community service to get lighter sentences. One program is roadside cleanup in the spring, it's a good thing..
Many thanks for your wonderful observations, Steve!
..just the sort of thing I am looking for!
Litter: Our whole road system and surrounding area is always clear of litter.
(Just have a peek under the elevated Highway 101 in San Francisco City; rubbish, scrap, dead bodies, etc, etc...)!
Roundabouts: A wonderful invention which always keeps the traffic moving, We travel on the left-hand side of the road, so the roundabout rule for us, is to give way to traffic approaching on our right-hand side. It works like a dream!
Overhead Power lines: Wonderfully spotted! They are quite rare, (mostly cables are buried underground), so I mostly don't observe them! Telephone poles and wires are easily spotted.
Yellow lines on the road: Well spotted! In the USA I see mile after mile of continuous double yellow lines indicating NO CROSSING OVER!...(I like them).
Over here we have the equivalent; double white lines; do not cross over. Broken white line; OK to crossover/overtake.
Broken white line AND continuous white line together means overtake if the broken line is on your side..do not cross/overtake if the continuous line is on your side!
Jagged/Zig-Zag lines on the road: Do not stop or park in the area (keep clear). Mostly found near Pedestrian controlled traffic-lights crossing, and approach to Schools, etc....Danger areas; always keep clear of vehicles.
One thing I dearly love on the US roads are STOP SIGNS at road junctions. On poles and on the ground, ensuring that drivers bring the vehicle to a complete standstill, and take time to observe any approaching traffic before proceeding...(a BIG FINE for those breaking the law)!
...over here; its a free-for-all, with traffic dangerously creeping out from junctions and side roads. (I always STOP at a road junction, much to the annoyance of drivers behind me).
...and the other lovely thing I find on USA Roads; the regular orange triangle signs on poles, warning of the route taken by the road immediately ahead...eg: sharp bend, the road doubles back on itself, etc...excellent!
Lots of excellent, sensible, roadway signs on the USA road system, all designed to assist the driver!
Many thanks Chums, for all your comments. Its always interesting to note the scenery, etc, differences in the various countries!
Paul....
