Lol in Canada here, it’s more like where is the road
Demauscian
We play that same game in Montana.
Dudeitsausername
and then you run into a moron who drives in 2 lanes at the same time, causes he too stupid to move over.

Yeah it's fun when you're driving along in the track, and you see the yellow (center) line appear in the right tire track.
RogerSeagull
the amount of imgurians from Michigan always seems disproportionately large. maybe I just notice because I also live here.
cerumen
Drive anywhere you like. Make eye contact. Assert dominance.
BeardyMcFace
What's better than driving through a snowy day where the lines don't exist? Parking in a lot during a snowy day!
YokkoKurama
Wisconsinite here. Absolutely true.
RebelReis
Michigander here, can confirm, play this game everyday!
guntech59
LOL....same thing in Upstate New York.
Jotun615
aint this true, as a fellow michigander i approve this message
NeneJPhilly
Damn right the plows don’t give a fuck. Let a blizzard hit. Nobody’s goin nowhere!
railgap
AKA why I never went "home" to the midwest again. I hear it's worse further north. ;) Fuck that. ;D
TarisaLea
Thank God I'm on vacation and not back home in Michigan. I tend to loose at this game.
mcgonagurrrrl
Michigander here. Can confirm.
dumbledoreismyfather
Just throw some lake effect snow in and you'll understand how last week was for Grand haven!
tugboatcaptain
Was JUST talking about how fuzzy the law gets driving in Michigan in the winter. Slowing down at a four way stop but see no one's coming? 1/
tugboatcaptain
Just keep going! Don't want to have to spin those tires trying to take off from a dead stop. 2/2
mistermichigan
From Michigan. Can confirm.
Monkeybeesmonkeybees
Hahahaha. Grand Rapids, MI here.
NeneJPhilly
emogurumi
In Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti, MI. Can confirm.
foundyoubrock
Me too.
CuttleFishOfCthulu
Anywhere with snow, really. Colorado is the same. Parking lots get pretty interesting too.
FabulousBadass
My first time in Michigan was during a snowstorm in 1993. Got a car at the airport and tried to find my destination with all the street sig
FabulousBadass
signs covered in snow.
Ozarck
half the signs are too far from the corner, too small, or simply non-existent as well. it's madness up here.
LonnieRiley65
And yet we paint our lines white, ugh Michigan is sketchfest in the winter!
PinkLlamaShark
Am i in the left turning lane, or the wrong side of the road. Question i ask myself daily.
Ozarck
Even on a clear night, I have to ask that one.
jcoddinc
Left turn lane? Don't you mean turn around, haven't you heard of the Michigan left
IW42
Those are mostly around GR and the Detroit suburbs. They pretty much don't exist in Flint and the Tri-Cities.
darthlordvadermort
In my experience those are just for high ways/split lane roads, normal intersections and roads have left turn lanes all the time
blackobluna
That's when we don't have a dedicated left turn lane. Which I think is actually surprisingly rare, seeing as it is the Michigan Left
tugboatcaptain
Not rare in Grand Rapids. Not rare at allllll
blackobluna
GR proper and North of town, maybe. I only really interact with them on 44th and Chicago Drive
Spleadal
Hahaha I'm moving to Wyoming in 3 days.
Ozarck
Fun Fact: Wyoming is a suburb of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Neat, huh?
smellsa
My hometown and current residence :)
Ozarck
Neat!
Spleadal
Im in wyoming now. Am very cold. Come back warmth.
Imgazorpazorpfuckingfieldbitch
This was my 2 hour drive from Columbus to Cleveland last Wednesday on 71. It's fun but also terrifying
MetaSomma
Ten years ago today my friend wrecked his van into a fire truck on that exact road in a snowstorm
Imgazorpazorpfuckingfieldbitch
Did he live?
MetaSomma
Yeah just minor scrapes and bruises thankfully

Sit down. We need to have a talk about that username.

Michigan road lines disappear in the rain and in the dark. Michigan needs to learn about reflective paint or embedded reflectors.
jwmccracken99
Neither work in the snow. Embedded reflectors make it too difficult to plow.
Ozarck
nothing works under the snow, embedded reflectors sit below the surface and do not affect the plow in any way.
fredbloxx
besides, the plows scrape them away
Asteroidrules
We still haven't figured out how to pave all the roads.
jjkingberry0
Or make them last more than a year couch cough hall road cough cough
RelentlessDevastation
Had them at the 696 - 94 interchange they plowed them up.
Ozarck
I'd be willing to bet they had the raised reflectors. Embedded reflectors sit below the surface and would be difficult to plow up.
DukePhelan
No point, there isn't enough pavement to paint in most places. I am sure the reflectors would be stolen and sold for scrap or something.
Ozarck
relfectors are cheap plastic with a mirrorlike backing. Hardly worth stealing, even for a teen on a thrill hunt.
cuzitsthere
Cuz that's what happens in the rest of the country. /s
ArdentSlacker
Iowa uses fucking water-soluble paint. "Better for the environment". Like, no, you fuckwads, paint that stays on the road is better & cheap.
Ozarck
Water soluble? Ahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha. That's dumb.
ArdentSlacker
On maaaaaany levels.
HolmesHolmes
Haha. I live in Michigan and this is probably the best description.
lemonsherbet
Every "M" Road is either 1 or 1.5 lanes now.
soulman2100
rounding up with some one from the upper right of michigan can confirm
absinthemindedprofessor
D'Oh, Michigan! -former Michigan resident
rylecx
try buffalo where we don't even get that much. We just get out our dog sleds
Pexall
Can confirm same here in Minnesota
jitterpuss
I've lived in Rwanda and Thailand this year and the lines done matter either, without even snow to blame it on
MildManneredPhilosopher
Pretty much all of Canada as well
WatchYourFuckingLanguage
i don't drive and i'm walking at the side of the road wondering if i'm even on the sidewalk
iwillmessagerandompeoplegifs
Same for Ohio
onechirp
Can confirm, I live in Michigan now. There is the "how many lanes is it now?" game too!
Mysongotmehooked
I’ll just take my half out of the middle.
Crillol
We've driven down this three lane road for years. Welp, I guess it's two lanes with snow cause y'all are dumb.
tugboatcaptain
Especially when there's already two tracks there for your tires to go in. Even if you know there's two lanes, they're filled with snow slush
pc404
You know what grinds my shit, people cutting you off with 10 inches of snow, not salted, not plowed.
onechirp
Sounds like you have had many experiences with this
