There's this thing with driving called right of way.
A driver is not required to yield to someone cutting across their path if they have right of way.

Too many drivers think their path is the only path and anyone else in the road has to yield to them.
It doesn't work that way.

Piss poor engineering by people that don't actually drive is a huge part of every day accidents and confusion on the road. Add in cell phone use, inattentiveness and just poor driving skills, all play a part in daily accidents.

All you have to do is look at these retarded criss cross intersections. It's clear that a non-driver designed them. People get used to them, but they suck for traffic control.

In HS driver's ed the teacher always said,
"Right of way is something you can yield, never something U have."
But then he was also the gym teacher.

Then that’s just a piss poor design. The inside lane should never have a turn option.

Agreed. But I think those designers had different objectives.

Their problem was "traffic flow" and keeping it flowing all the way down to Woods Hole (and, maybe, also to (then) Otis AFB. now "Joint base Cape Cod" I think), which is just North of Falmouth/Woods Hole. Hence, two lanes turning right. I guess they figured that's the way 90+% of the traffic was going to go, anyway. It's weird because just South of Otis, at "Brick Kiln Rd" it drops to one lane each way. And, as you enter the CDP of Woods Hole, it's one lane with maybe a 25mph limit that might go up to 35 in lightly populated areas. Imagine all the 18-wheelers and busses that have to travel that road to get to the ferries.

It really doesn't matter what objective the designer/engineer had.
The design and its execution was still piss poor. And very dangerous.

If an objective appears solid on the outset, but the only way to execute it is flawed, then the objective itself is flawed, and must change along with the design.

More morons / idiots ignore the rules at roundabouts than traffic signals....
