Did you know?
that most of Idaho isn't even farmable? Too many mountains.
Central Idaho is indisputably the most beautiful place in the country if you ever cared to visit.
Idaho has more untouched wilderness than any other state in the lower 48. This is possibly the greatest state in the country.
OK, now that this is out of my system, it is good to be un-quarantined

The Blue Ridge Parkway is pretty awesome in the fall.
The Rockies in CO and WY
The awesome juxtaposition of going from eastern WA/OR to the Cascades in the summer. You go from desert to lush greens and lose like 25 degrees of temperature.
Montana as a whole.
Nova Scotia

WY is more divided in half N/S
And then you've got the Black Hills in the NE corner.
South is OK from Evanston to about Rock Springs, but the rest sucks.
So yeah, I agree it is on the w hole a very pretty state.

Those are actually regular surface streets
And plenty of people do. And if you have friends who have truly seen all of Connecticut they would have noticed that there is only ONE shared turn lane in all of Connecticut.
That's right...one suicide lane. Even someone not paying attention would have noticed that.

Yeah
But you'd notice something like that just by default. If you drove 100 miles and the pavement markings were purple instead of yellow/white, you'd notice. Likewise, something that is taken so for granted everywhere else exists in exactly one place in Connecticut. I have a feeling they'd notice if they were really paying close enough attention to the state to tell you what is going on in W Connecticut

by I'm NOT Corco on Dec 9, 2007 8:03 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
So are you an inattentive driver?
You're driving down a long, straight, flat road. It's been two lanes for about 200 miles. Out of nowhere the road widens out to 4 lanes. Do you notice this? Do you realize it has been 200 miles since the last 4 lane road?
by I'm NOT Corco on Dec 9, 2007 8:09 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
No
Same thing happens, you've been driving for a long time in condition X and suddenly condition X changes. You either notice the change or you don't.
You are an inattentive driver.

by marinerschas2 on Dec 9, 2007 8:14 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
yes I own a car
This is completely different from a road going from 2 lanes to 4 or something that bares immediate impact on your driving condition.
In my opinion, a better analogy is asking how many intersections with a dedicated green arrow in the left turn lane rather than the solid green-yield to oncoming traffic there are in your neighborhood. That is something much more akin to making use a middle turn lane.

Interesting
Still, if you noted all the raised medians it seems like you should have noted the lack of center turn lanes
by I'm NOT Corco on Dec 9, 2007 8:39 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Did I notice that there wasn't a turn lane?
But since it's not something you make use of all that often when driving, I don't find it at all unusual to never stop and actually consider if there were any turn lanes at all.
I noticed there were raised medians, but I have no idea how many roads do or do not have raised medians in CT.
These events are just not remarkable so there's no way for my memory to be sure the last time I did use a middle turn lane when I finally used one again after CT. I don't think (m)any people consciously note that stuff for certainty.
