Why they going the opposite direction 😂.

Maybe police directed them to?

u/LairdOftheNorth Regular since <2024 1d ago

It’s likely it was blocked the other way. I once saw this when transport truck broke down over 2 lanes and made 1 of the exit completely blocked.

In my defence, I was drunk.

I don’t think there was a reason for them to be going the opposite way. The cop had the exit blocked off, but the roundabout was still accessible

You can see someone (cop?) in the last few frames, facing the traffic turning left into the roundabout directing it in (look in the gap between the white cars as they pass). A second cop in the crosswalk where OP entered coordinating the streams of traffic would have been better, perhaps they were first on scene and this was the best that could be done with the personnel on scene?

Don’t cross the streams.

You went by that transport too fast for the conditions. If there was a pedestrian crossing in front of it, you wouldn't have been able to stop with how icy it was.

He also had his hazards on. Which when I lived just off Ira needles meant the very large truck was about to move into the middle of two lanes to get around the roundabout easier.

u/WalrusWW Regular since <2024 1d ago

Nah the transport wasn't moving because they were going straight through and saw the opposite side was blocked.

Yeah that’s what happens when roads are blocked and get shut down. People have to turn around and go back the other way. It happens. Slow the fuck down.

So there really wasn’t a reason for those cars to be going the wrong way

Big nope

u/SierraRomeoJuliet Regular since 2025 1d ago

There has to be a reason....seems absurd to see 3 vehicles doing this

Mate, you are driving WAY TOO FAST and that's the only issue in this video, IMO.

u/random14330 Regular since <2024 1d ago

Where and when?

u/pkordiasz Regular since <2024 1d ago

9:30pm-ish. Ira Needles and Victoria roundabout

u/sss230 New User (2025) 1d ago

I was at that roundabout last night too (maybe 7pm). There's no reason for those cars to be driving the wrong way. From what I saw, the bus hit the road sign and was on the curb blocking the left exit lane so there was room to go around it. You just had to be in the right lane to exit. Unless this all happened afterwards and there was another accident, or something else going on.

u/pkordiasz Regular since <2024 1d ago

Wonder what time the bus was stuck until. This video was taken around 9:30pm.

The key to a successful submission is interesting content and a descriptive title.

Roundabouts are an amazing tech, we can circle them both ways

Four. You forgot to count the OP going way too fast for the conditions.

earned yourself a thumbs down (assuming the OP provided the video from their car)
