If someone is going the wrong way down a one-way, you really want to know about them.
It happens more often than you think.

I personally see it on my street once or twice a month, seems unlikely I’d happen to see it every time it happens
And the person doing that is a bad driver and/or has attention problems
Pedestrians?
Moving from a walker hostile city to a walk friendly city, I forgot they existed and had some close calls. I’m pretty aware of them now.
Cyclists are the worst
I remember a vid of a cyclist going the wrong way down a 1 way street. Pedestrian didn’t look that way and bam. Guess who the cyclist blamed.
If you do it every time, you won’t forget when it’s important.
Yeah well looking the ‘wrong’ way on a 1 way street has stopped me from getting run over, and looking both ways before going on the green has saved my life from a red light runner when I was on my motorcycle.
This is actually a good tool to explain the difference between those RPG stats that can be easy to mix up:
Perception is noticing you are crossing a one-way street.
Intelligence is understanding cars are only allowed to come from one direction.
Wisdom is looking in both directions before crossing anyway.
You never know if someone will be going wrong way down a one way street
I’ve had this happen 10+ times in my life, so always look both ways.
I’ve seen my fair share of people driving the wrong way on one-way roads. Can’t rely on people following the rules.
Rules are meant to be broken
You have to look the other way anyway in case there might be pedestrians or cyclists crossing your path.

How did you post image?
Lemmy uses markdown, so almost any “how” question can be answered by looking up “how to x in markdown.”
For example, the first DDG result for “how to post an image in markdown”: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/markdown-markdown-images
Thanks!
Any time I can spread the good word of markdown, I’m happy to do so.
By the way, I don’t know which ones, but many Lemmy clients have buttons to simplify common markdown (links and images are notoriously easy to mess up). On my client, Connect, there are a row of buttons below the text entry area to help with formatting and syntax. It’s also how I upload images if posting from my local client rather than somewhere already online.
I don’t know your client, but it might be worth checking whether these buttons exist for you so you don’t have to remember / look up the syntax.
PFM? Pure Fucking Magic. Dammit guess I will never know.

You never fucking know, dude. Better to be safe than sorry. The other driver can be at fault and still leave you with a permanent disability.
Considering some of the horrible drivers out there, this isn’t a bad idea
I’ve seen enough vehicles driving the wrong direction that I’m not risking it.
I always do this because I have gone down too many one way streets and found someone else going the wrong way. It’s not uncommon
The anecdote my dad always told me was being smart is knowing it’s a one way street, being wise is looking both ways anyways
I live on a one way street. the amount of times people go the wrong way is too high.
hey look! someone is doing the standard practice
