Question: Is it illegal to make the left turn depicted in the attached picture - from Lamont onto Scott, near the intersection with Coventry -- so that the turning vehicle must cross the pavement striping bordered by double-yellow lines on each side?

I cannot find anything in the Georgia traffic law. Nothing about turning across striping or double yellow lines. Some other states may have laws about this -- for instance the CA traffic law states that two pairs of double yellow lines are to be treated as a barrier.

Controversial: we should stop running for office in host countries.

Uncontroversial: Jewish president is a fantasy.

"#MichaelMorris is the publisher of the #Atlanta #JewishTimes, and the scathing letter he just wrote #Georgia #Sen. #JonOssoff signals yet another important shift among prominent #Jewish communal figures since #October7.

First, the background to this incident. In the 2024 campaign, the question was whether #Pennsylvania #Gov. #JoshShapiro’s #Jewishness would hold him back from being embraced as a national figure in the #Democratic Party. The answer was yes: A progressive campaign to cast him as a #dualloyalist was so successful that when he was being vetted as a possible vice-presidential nominee for #KamalaHarris, her team asked him whether he worked on #Israel’s behalf.

Many of us, myself included, wondered if #Shapiro would run for president in 2028 and thus test the party’s voters on this question. But it looks as if #Ossoff may be the one..."

Let's build more transit-oriented linear parks like El Jardín Flotante Tlallipan & The Beltline

@Lizette603_23 Train mates are always amazing. I usually have one when I go home (a work mate), but the morning ride, is never.

Plus #Atlanta transit kinda sucks.

For the first time in a while, I heard some new rock music that was interesting. Caveat - they were covers of old songs.
But I think I dig the 99x 'resurrection weekend' playing just oldies. It's always fun to hear songs from my youth that I missed when they were new.
