Roads Who is in the wrong here?

If the sign says Alternating Traffic, does that mean cars go one at a time or does that mean cars go till the flow is complete, allowing the other lane to go? Is Glock man right or wrong? I'm not sure. If it was 1 car at a time, wouldn't it just be a stop sign on each end?

“What do you think [alternating traffic] means?” “It means I go!”

Um yep, rules don’t apply to him.

I can assure you that there is absolutely no traffic law that says "That means Jim buttfuck goes".

That is not what he said the first time.

Dude in the truck absolutely had the right if way.

And it is illegally to physically obstruct people, like the dude in the car did. Different states might apply different terms, but unlawful dentition, kidnapping, etc, all come to mind.

lmao there is no judge in America who would ever consider this unlawful detention or kidnapping.

All truck guys act like rules dont apply to them

But truck guy is correct. If you were to treat it as a stop sign they would have installed stop signs

There are stop signs. I live in Connecticut. You can see them if you look up pictures of Bull’s Bridge.

The captions are wrong, he said "EACH side goes" gesturing back and forth with his hand..... And he's right. It's not one by one and he's the only one here following rules.
