Pop Quiz for Oklahoma City Residents

You're on an onramp merging into another onramp that will merge onto an interstate highway.  At the end of your ramp, there is a "yield" sign.  There is no traffic coming up that will interfere with your merge.  Do you:

  1. Come to a complete stop at the end of the ramp
  2. Double check for traffic, maybe only slowing a little as you do so, and then GET YOUR ASS MOVING

Oklahoma City drivers kept choosing option 1 and failing the test this afternoon, at rush hour.  Let me explain this once.  A yield sign means to let traffic already on the road go ahead of you.  But if there IS no traffic, you keep going.  You'd think that this is a simple concept, but I guess not...

Glad to see you back. Those drivers must have transferred from Kentucky, or at least tested at the same place.

Laughs, "I see that all the time on the road, and can actually top it. SR 51 L north bound here in Phoenix, if you get off at Shea Blvd its a two lane exit onto east bound Shea. The right most lane doesn't have a merge, the right exit lane becomes the right road lane, and sign their says 'Yield to Pedestrians.' Care to guess how many stop and look to their left?"
