Wrongly Designed Intersection;

Here's the map. Okay. The law says that you can only turn left on solid green after stopping (treat it like a yield sign). At this intersection, the left lane heading east on Johnston's ONLY turns left. BUT, the light only gives a solid green. While legal, it is wrong. For those who know the intersection well, they know that the light is pretty short, so you need to quickly turn left or risk losing the light after only 2 or 3 cars. This incorrectly teaches drivers that they can and SHOULD treat a solid green light like a left turn light, creating problems at other intersections. For those who don't know the light, they're going to be confused--especially since common sense at ANY OTHER LIGHT, would say that you need to look out for the cars across the way heading straight--they have a red light, but nothing on the eastbound side indicates this.

Getting on I-64 at Norview Avenue; Norfolk,VA

Here's the map,  but it's old because it's no longer a clover leaf. They're changing the on and off ramps and there's now a light as the people heading south have to turn left to get onto the interstate. I'm heading NE and my light turned yellow making me have to stop somewhat shortly because I try not to run yellow lights. BEFORE my light has turned red, the front car in the left turn lane turned left onto the interstate.

Now, at the time I was certain that the car blatently ran the red light since he knew he could. As I returned from the library I had to pass through the same light to get home, I saw that the light does have a solid green as well as a left turn for that lane. So it is entirely possible that that car went on a solid green which is legal since he had stopped first before he turned left. I do not know what the timing is for the light and it wouldn't be the first one in the city which is designed blatently wrong.

Chesapeake Blvd and E. Little Creek Rd. (Norfolk)

This is just a typical case of annoyingly pointless road rage.

So, I'm heading north on Chesapeak Blvd in the 2nd lane from the right (so just the right turn lane to the right), and am stopped at the light. Beside me, a car drives up and calmly stops as the light turns yellow. This...bitch, for lack of a better term, comes flying up behind with her horn blazing, screaming something at the car stopped ahead of her. The way the light works, the right turn gets a green arrow, then it turns red right before it turns green again (along with the straight lanes). So all told, between the first car stopping, the second car blowing, and the light turning green again, 10 seconds couldn't have passed. All that...BS just because one woman didn't want to stop for a red light.

Is it no wonder that I have no sympathy for drivers who get a red light video ticket for turning right on red without stopping. The law says that you need to stop and look before you turn right on red. If you don't like it, feel free to petition to have the law changed.

Police Officer at Five Points (Norfolk)

Dude...seriously?!?

Okay so this is a wacky intersection. Like it's name implies, there are five roads that meet at a huge intersection (please take the link because there's no way in the world I could explain it properly).

I was on Chesapeake Blvd, heading SW, going to make a right onto Sewells Point Rd. Ahead of me there was a cop, also in the right lane, also heading SW. I don't know what one Earth possessed him to do it, but the idiot decided that it was a good idea to make a LEFT TURN onto Sewells Point Road, which (I hope you're looking at the map) means that he had to go "through" Norview Ave making an already very wide left turn even wider. How he didn't get into an accident, I will never know.
