    Someone will at some point try this for sure

      Actually I’d think handling unclear situations like this would be one of the major things that makes autonomous driving systems so complicated and challenging to develop.

    I knew printing your own signs would lead to interesting exploits, but this is just next level.

  I’d back up the hell outta there

    Putting it into reverse requires you to stop first.

      i think you could theoretically drift to maintain velocity in a different axis while accelerating in reverse to technically not ever “stop”

  I’d just drive off the road to the right. Where I’m going, I don’t need rules. I may need new tires, though…

    And suspension, shocks, axel, exhaust, undercarriage…

  You could reverse down the road, or would there be a moment between forwards and backwards when you’re stopped?

    It’s not a u-turn if you skid into a wicked 540

    You have to cross over 0 at some point

    source

      Stopping isn’t the same as driving at 0 speed.

      A car is stopped if and only if its acceleration is also 0.

  Somewhat more sophisticated version of a one-way cul-de-sac.

    signs may only apply to the road after them, so you could validly stop just before it.

    My thoughts exactly; problem solved. Just do what the first sign says before the others apply.

  What concerns me the most is the no uturn followed by road that says you can pass and in theory u turn

  Time to go off-roading.

  alt text is supposed to describe the image for people who are visually impaired, that’s just a caption

    Alt text on XKCD posts is the label that displays when you hover over the post on their website, it’s not something that the user has added.
