    I don't see you did anything wrong. Looks like you were on a detour, maybe those in front of you had no clue where they were to turn until it was almost too late.

    Hindsight being 20/20, I guess if I'd travel through there again, I'd be on the lookout for such things.

    But then again, it is Pennsyltucky, so road construction signs dont always give great info, if any

    That just looks like a horrible turn lane anyways by the way the grass is non existent from trailers running it over.

    Do we need to revisit the How to make a right turn thread? Lol

    That's ###### near as bad as a religious political topic.

    Other 2 are idiots. "Oh I'm supposed to turn here" listening to the ding ding ding on the GPS

    I've made that mistake a bunch of times in an unfamiliar area but Jesus look before you just turn. Don't cut the guy that's in the proper lane off

    Exactly. I think most if not all of us have realized we were in the wrong lane or saw a turn we needed a bit late. The proper way to handle it is to wait till it's clear or some kind soul cuts ya some slack, realizing you're the one that is out of your lane and it is not incumbent on anyone else to "let you in".

    Looks tight. They should have taken up both lanes if they thought they might need them
