I flew into Boston again today and picked up my rental car. Its an orange Toyota Matrix, almost identical to my red Vibe, so I'm excited to drive it. Despite the fun car, I hit the common frustrations on my drive from the rental car lot:
- Unmarked lanes at stoplights. Are they right turn lanes? Left turn lanes? Straight only? Go ahead and guess.
- Unmarked lanes. This lane is about twice as wide as a regular lane, and there are cars either driving in the middle, or cars passing other cars both being in the lane. Will it dissapear? Is it a 'real' lane? Nevermind this is at the intersection of two major interstates.
- Lanes just ending. So those stoplights that have 2 unmarked lanes? On the otherside of the intersection, is one lane. Hope you're faster than the car in the other lane.
- Lane markings being faded away. This is understandable because of the snow/ice/plowings/repeat, but its still annoying. Especially when lanes are all sorts of sizes.
- Old people driving slow. Seriously, 10 mph on an entrance ramp to an interstate? Really?
Despite all this, its still fun to drive here. I only wish I could drive around more, I tend to work-work-work when I'm here (gives me more time Thursday night/Fridays).
