Here's a diagram to illustrate one example of how a smart person does it versus how a dope does it:
Now...are you blocking the intersection? Maybe, but in a way that has to be done otherwise - during rush hour - nobody turning onto the main road would ever get through. You're not blocking opposing traffic, though, but this is how it must be done to prevent people from being trapped on a side road. The dopes in this scenario must be honked at or they freeze up and nobody gets home. |
I had to read through the rest of the thread but this post absolutely did not get enough credit.
1. Clearly busted out the ruler to make sure the lines were tidy.
2. Multiple colours to direct the reader's eye to the important parts.
3. Masterful use of labels so even the savages or 'Dopes' amongst us could still understand. Is there a median? Where is the median? Oh, there it is, thanks Sliver!
4. Arrows. Arrows are so underutilized today, but he uses them very effectively to indicate direction and to add clarity to the labels. Fabulous.
5. He even adds the dip#### ####wad, who leaves excessive space betwixt himself and the car in front of them. An ode to a CP classic GG!
6. Finally, the sheer effort. This was not jotted off when he was outside for a fake smoke break. This took time. This took thought. This took Sliver.
Bravo.
And I left the diagram in the original size as an homage. You don't minimize an artiste.
