It's crazy to me that none of the people in the right lane of traffic are just escaping off to the right. Everyone's just sitting.

Maybe there was a process of natural selection, where all the people sensible enough who could get out got out, and it was 100% stubborn people remaining by the time the picture was taken.

I do think of that mentality "But I don't want to go right, I want to go straight, I'm not turning, everyone needs to get out of my way so I can go straight, I'm waiting here until that happens" as an American thing, but I guess we don't have a monopoly on it.

Especially if you have that mod that disables traffic despawning, along with that realistic building population mod. Build one skyscraper without having a robust public transit system already in place, and it'll bring your city to its knees.

At some point, it's literally that. You have to kick everyone out of their cars and start loading the cars up on wheel dollies, then slide them out sideways. Or bring in a forklift to do the same.

The white car near the top-left crosswalk should drive forward and to the right. This unclogs a path for the cars from top-right.

But then the cars that turn will be giving in!?! They will be late for the thing they're doing!

Sometimes you just need to be the reason for the safety meeting

Check out the whole line of cars that could be getting through right-to-left, but there are two jerkwads who insist on not moving their car a foot or two apart to open up the little space and let them proceed.

Turns out the real America was in the hearts of the world this entire time

There are modern roundabouts and then there are rotary intersections. Modern roundabouts have traffic entering the circle yield to traffic already within it, while rotary intersections have traffic within the circle yield to traffic entering. That makes rotaries, but not modern roundabouts, susceptible to locking up like this.

Oh buddy, traffic laws in Brazil are light suggestions not really enforced. Red lights? Just drive through, don't stop. Roundabout? Just drive straight through they're just painted circles on the road, silly. One way street? Who's gonna stop me? Roads usually flow like you see in SE Asia where its like a flowing stream of motorcycles, except there's a lot more VW Gol's and Fiat Uno's. Even the Civil and Military police don't give a shit and drive like everyone else. Just don't get caught speeding on a speed camera or you will get a ticket for going .1 KPH over the limit.

Seems they do. That's what the yellow markings on the road are for.

Survival of the fitness.
