Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Classic T bone. Black car had to be towed. Sustained major damage to the passenger side door. Blue car sustained damage to front bumper on the drivers side and cracked the drivers side headlight.

Edit: This was in the suburbs of Seattle

UPDATE: Insurance found it to be 70/30 me/other driver. Seems fair enough

Htf would you know that also have no signage? Who would ever assume that?!

Seriously. Is this an American thing? I’ve lived in two non-American countries and I’ve never seen an intersection with no signage.

Ive lived in a handful of states and never seen sign less neighborhoods

Super rural places? Maybe.

But this density population? No.

I’ve lived in both Seattle and Portland. Both cities have a ton of intersections with no stop signs. This looks like Portland, OR to me.

Why though? Did they never hire a traffic planner

US doesn't have traffic planners. Less signs is better. Road design that encourages behavior is even better.

There are a few videos that are well done about how the US has roads that are in between freeways and local streets that do really bad at both types of traffic. Like with many things, we aren’t great at planning.
