It’s obvious they want you to just drive off the road or go into the other lane in reverse. I see no problem here.

But if you reverse, then you will stop for a short period of time…

Specially, executing a perfect J-Turn would do it.

No U turn, but it doesn’t disallow a & turn

You gotta do a secretory vesicle turn (looks like the open one!) where you swerve wildly off the road, circle around, blaze directly across the street at a right angle, then circle back onto the road heading the other direction. No stopping, no entering, and it’s technically not a U-turn.

Haven’t thought about secretory vesicles in a while, and this is a pretty unique context for them lmao

It’s the shape my brain drew as I read those signs. It follows all the rules!

If this was on the diskworld, it would be an auditor trap.

In the real world, it can be a Tesla trap.

Oof

I’m honestly curious what the Tesla would do. Can a computer have an existential crisis?
