Given the original sign covered 7-9.30am seems like it's to prevent people cutting across traffic during peak commuting time either to prevent accidents or improve the flow of traffic.
Yeah true. But I reckon it was worth asking.
Also, sometimes, all it takes is asking a carve-out to make your life easier.
For instance, he could have asked the city to add an "except residents" sign under the existing one. At least where I live, you'd be surprised how accommodating the administration can be if you simply ask nicely with a good argument.
Hell, he could have added the sign himself for cheaper and I bet none of the other residents would have complained about it 🙂
Realllly depends on the city. Some places won’t even reply to you for months, and when they do it’ll be a bullshit answer because you’re not of the developers bribing them with millions of dollars…
There is a sign like this at the end of my street. It’s morning and evening rush times. The turn in question is an offset intersection through a busy road. If you are to take a left off my street you can easily be hit by someone taking a right from the street across into the middle of the road to then take a left from the perpendicular road onto my street. The city put some surveyors out there for a bit and with the accident data and all that determined my street can’t make our left at certain times but the street across can snake their way across town just fine. The 2 streets on either side of mine are just fine to left turn from, they don’t have the offset intersection. Nobody gets pulled over for the turn either but I’m sure if you caused an accident you would get an extra citation.
