This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Where is this monstrosity?

It resembles Steven's Creek by I-480(?), lemme try to enhance that sign

Edit: oh man this image is compressed all to hell. There's a very similar death trap at Steven's Creek Blvd. and I-280 in Cupertino, but this ain't it.

The sign might say "Tampa", but that's based off of like 18 pixels

Plus the road design and landscape looks pretty floridian.

Flat as fuck, stupid as shit... This screams Florida to me too.

I'm like 95% sure I've seen that somewhere around Orlando, and the sign looks like a Turnpike sign, but the turnpike doesn't go to Tampa unless you go turnpike to I-4...

EDIT: there's a less crunchy image on Reddit, apparently FDOT posted it to Twitter. That is definitely a Florida Turnpike sign (sorry for linking to Reddit)

EDIT 2: Found the original tweet via wayback machine, which was deleted by FDOT (gee, I wonder why?) and it's somewhere in Palm Beach County (Lyons Road to the Turnpike), not Orlando.

Looks like the meme was made from this twitter post.
