"One Car Per Green Each Lane" the sign says

[RAMd®d]

generally the car to the right gets right-of-way.

That refers to uncontrolled or STOP sign controlled intersections.

kap is referring to metering lights at freeway on-ramps. That means "obeying posted sign or signal", not the car-on-the-right rule.

In CA there *are* two signal lights for each metered stop. Depending on how the lanes are set the signals may have as little as 1s delay between signals.

The bottleneck is the slow reaction time of the *other* guy!

I read it and was unsure what it meant. I actually think that it means that one car in each lane can go on a green, meaning that two cars can go per green. But, I could be wrong since the syntax is so poor.

Two cars can go on the green, they then decide how to merge into one lane and then decide how to merge onto the freeway.

Glad that's not the process out here.

Although since it's not enforced, I find it *very* common for one driver to be HUD and miss his green and go on the red anyway because it *was* his turn, he just wasn't paying attention.

So the end result is two cars going on one signal and having to "work it out".

I'd like to see Red Light cameras at all of our metering lights. It would make life much easier and help out CA a little.
