People often forget, this is only on highways/motorways. On surface streets (recognizable by their lack of entry/exit ramps/infrastructure and same level intersections) left lanes are for those expecting to turn left next, right lanes are for those expecting to turn right next, and middle lanes are for those who will be going straight past the next intersection, with some variance expected on occasion.

Surface streets

3 lanes

You don't need to tell me where you live.

Its sadly not only an America problem. Its not uncommon here in China to see 3 lanes each way, a seperated motorbike lane that's like 10 feet wide, a seperated bus/bicycle/car parking lane, 5 feet of bike parking, and then 15 feet of sidewalk.

And somehow cars still drive on the sidewalks.

Which country do you think this picture got taken in? Hint: It's not America, China or Dubai

I would have said Philippines but the avalanche of cars is missing. So I'll guess Myanmar?

Edit: Lol, I still had this post open from this morning and just saw that you already gave the answer

Probably some parade street in North Korea.

Based on the overall frequency of people from Southeast Asia vs. the US on Lemmy, my guess is still going to be "US" when people tell me about 3+ lanes on municipal roads, even though I am of course aware that such roads exist in other countries (including my own).

Where do they live?
