richmond virginia hates left turns
3 rights turns could equal a left, so what’s the point in turning left directly? This was the thought running through the head of whoever designed traffic flow in this city. If you have to come to Richmond on business, and drive the ultra powerful (sarcasm) and thoughtfully laid out (sarcasm again) Saturn Ion, prepare yourself for the delight of your life. The concrete median that divides every major street in this city provides many opportunities for people that don’t like anything to do with the left, to go straight. Not even at stoplights are you allowed to turn left. Do you see a store you want to go in across the street? It’s easy and convenient to drive 5 miles down the road where you can wait in line for 29 minutes for the opportunity to U-Turn (but you can’t turn left there because there is no street to left turn onto) in front of a speeding Semi. Or maybe it’s fun and exciting to park across the street and Frogger your way across to your destination (maybe this is why the Vick brothers are so good at not getting tackled). Richmond Virginia hates left turns (because they don’t go Right… Wing).
