RI road system is convoluted. What if the left lane is an exit lane as well?

Oh ah. Partially my fault for falling off the face.

I think best first step would be to create an open or at least easy-invite discord and get it populated and active.

I'd prefer they raise prices rather than giving you less. The latter is a really sleazy move.

I know, it was funny

You can’t tell me when I can have a political sign on my private property. I still have my Mondale sign up.

That group didn't go anywhere That's why I'm trying to start a new one

Yeah we're talking about people who are cutting people in the right lane off, using their safe following distance to then cut off the person in the left lane.

My response was an attempt at humor. I grew up in Lil Rhody but spent a lot of time south of the mason/dixon. I still goof on southern vernacular. Hence, my attempt... No worries. ;)

Can we also talk about people paralleling others?

I absolutely hate it when people think it’s a great idea to drive at the same speed as the person in the next lane, causing them to parallel and block off any gap to pass. It’s infuriating. Like how dense of a driver do you have to be to not realise you’re impeding traffic?

(Sorry, I fell off the face of the planet, it's been a hard few months)

Can you post this video a few dozen more times?

This video lost me with "it forces people to weave back and forth between lanes" ... no one is forcing you to drive like an asshole. Yeah, the guy cruising the left lane should move over but until he does you're either stuck or you're choosing to drive like an asshole.

>RIPTA: ”A centerpiece of RIPTA’s Transit Master Plan is development of two High-Capacity Transit routes linking downtown Providence with other communities in the metro area. In 2023, with a $900,000 RAISE planning grant and other allocated funds, RIPTA will work with residents, businesses, transit riders, and other stakeholders to study and select the preferred routing of the service and decide which high-capacity transit mode (light rail or bus rapid transit) will best serve Rhode Islanders.”

>RI Transit Riders: “We also expect the state to implement the Transit Master Plan, which will extend transit access to all parts of the state, and improve existing service by increasing the frequency of current bus lines. The Transit Master Plan will create more bus hubs, add more bus rapid transit, and improve connectivity within the state while also improving our connection to Boston through light rail.”

I understand that adding more and more lanes to a busy highway does not help congestion, but three is really required for proper lane usage and truly having a lane only designated for passing.

It's funny to think that someone thinks posting this will fix the fact nobody knows how to drive...

Adding more lanes doesn't solve congestion.

CT will at least pull people over for being in the left lane and not passing.

So I moved from RI to Dallas, TX area about 13 years ago. I come back to visit occasionally. Here’s the main thing I’ve noticed in driving habits: TX drivers are a little better at driving but ruder. RI drivers just aren’t that great at it sometimes.

This is the only thing I like about having to drive to Boston, a lot of people in Massachusetts get this so why can’t we?!

Every state in the country lol I've lived in RI, MA, ME, TX, CA, and WA. Every state drove like this and every one of them thought they were unique for it

you're right, there are many more! in the OP, the title clarifies - these are just the ship owners recorded as having financed the most slaving voyages in a narrow 23-year window. any record of all slaving voyages based out of a rhode island port, either for that time period or since the beginning of european colonization, would have a lot more names, even if it was still limited to ship owners.

i remember reading somewhere that the brown who the school is named after didn't invest in that many (🙄) slaving journeys himself - others involved with the school did more - but would have to loke around for more details. i can if you want

1 hour after they are installed

Username checks out.

Interesting, I thought there would be more. But I guess these are just the ship owners? Curious I don't see the Brown name on the list.
