bus lanes.

There is this bus lane in downtown Seattle on 4th avenue. I drive it all the time. It’s a bus only lane on weekday mornings, which it says on the signs and it’s only about a block long. Two things amaze me about this bus lane.

  1. It’s amazing how many people get over. In the middle of traffic, they are turning on their blinkers and doing everything they can to get out of this bus lane for a block. To avoid breaking the rules. People really are pretty much rule followers and pretty kind.

  2. But, people do this on Saturday and Sunday and late at night too. No one reads the sign that you don’t have to get over at those times.

So, like lots of life. People are pretty kind and follow rules. And they also don’t pay very good attention to the rules or signs, which causes more trouble than they often need to.
