Dictionaries list common usage - even if incorrect. Look up the definition of right of way for your state or other government and I'm certain it will be the thing on which you travel or the right to create and manage it, not your "rights" while traveling on it.

I couldn't find a list of all definitions by state but the three states I checked all use that.

It would be weird if they didn't, since that's been the term since before automobiles existed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_way

    Misunderstanding "right of way" is half the problem.

    Right of way is ability to make a road, or the road itself by extension. You can't have the right of way - it's usually the government's - and you can't give it away. This is why wording is consistently who must yield the right of way, and not who has the right of way.

    If it's a driver's turn to act, they are obligated to act. It's not their option or right to act.

    This will come as an absolute shock to you. You can vote for someone you criticize....

    Which party was it that dogpiles on anyone that dares criticize their shitty candidates again?

    The point of saying it before the election is that the expectations are set.

    Yes. Exactly! The reason people keep removed about Harris and genocide is because they hope something might actually happen about it.

    Biden was an absolutely terrible candidate (that I was going to vote for) and probably the only person who could lose against Trump. Because people constantly removeded about how bad he was they changed the candidate.

    Harris doesn't get to use Trump as a not-as-bad-as screen, and given that we don't have the option of not voting for her, everyone should be applying every other available form of pressure to discourage her from enabling genocide or otherwise maintaining the status quo.

    Somehow people think that pointing out that anyone who isn't Trump are pro-genocide means that Trump somehow isn't pro-genocide.

    Like you're not allowed to think about two problems at once. Or that there are no other options....

    Yeah. The picture definitely shows driveways big enough for a car, where some housing doesn't have that.

    Given that I'm pro bike, and very anti-park-your-car-wherethefuckever-when-you-can-park-on-your-own property, I'm for the bike lanes.
