Hot off the presses of SGI (Saskatchewan Government Insurance, the only insurance game in town), I bring you the 2004 Driver's Handbook.For those of you who haven't ever been here before, Regina is the capital, and Ring Road is a "freeway" that does not form a complete ring around the city, despite it's name that indicates this to be the case.Those speeds are in km/h, not MPH!!

I've seen those same rules applied to Montreal

I've seen the same thing adapted for Jersey too...

I think it's a universal sort of thing. Who ever is responsible for this one did do some work, copying the official SGI logo & SK flag.The funny thing is really that Ring Road is not a ring, and Circle Drive (the equivalent road in Saskatoon) is really not a circle. I think we have some sort of completion issues.

the states are screwy like that too.interstates that end in an odd number go north to south. For example, one of the most well known interstates in the east, I-95, goes from the bottom tip of florida all the way up to top of maine.interstates that end in an even number go east - west. For example, many know I-90 runs from Seattle all the way to Boston's logan airport.But then there's I-84. Runs from NY to I-90 in Massachusetts, South to North, but is still designated I-84 East and I-84 West. Goooooo transportation department! lol

That would have been helpful to know when we drove to DC with no directions. Never again will I leave all the details of a trip to my dear fiance.ME: Where does you cousin live? HIM: Here's the address ... blah blah blah, Alexandria, Virginia.ME: I thought you said he was in DC?HIM: Ya, it's all the same.ME: Did you get directions?HIM: No, I have the address.Duh, did you think we were gonna just stumble across the street? I'm sorry, but the major cities can go from good neighbourhood to not so good way to quickly for us to be wandering around. The moral of the story is, from now on, if there's driving involved, I get directions!!!

We have most of those rules here in Pittsburgh too. Only we have added what outsiders have termed "the Pittsburgh turn". Many of our intersections are outdated and have no left turn lane or arrow on the light. So the first car in the left lane inches up as the light is about to turn green and has to GUN it to beat the traffic that is about to start coming from the other direction in order to make the turn. The next guy in line either has to risk his life by riding the bumper of the person in front of him that is trying to beat the oncoming traffic or sit and wait for the light to change again and gun it out into the intersection. If you are one of the first cars of the oncoming traffic and someone is making the "Pittsburgh turn" in front of you, you have to GUN it and aim right at them to discourage everyone else from making the turn and not allowing your lane of traffic to go because if you let more than one go, then everyone will try to go. If you stop and let people make the turn, you either get rear ended or learn some new swear words from the driver behind you. One of the little niceities that makes Pittsburgh driving fun.
