  Another thing that has annoyed me are the lack of signage in some
states.  Its as if one is to be a resident there and know their way around.
  Routes through cities and towns are the worse.  
  I spent nearly two hours yesterday morning trying to find my way out of
Layfatte, IN.  I saw more of that town than I cared to see.
  I'm going down a street, there's a sign reading route whatever then
suddenly at a corner is an arrow, pointing to the left and "turn here!" 
No x distance turn left, so one can move over.  
  At least in a city you can circle the block.  On Interstates its miles
and miles before one can back track.  One reason I hate them so.
  With my phone, Apple Maps on the car and finding a hot spot I sometimes
use their directions.  Those are usually useless.  It will be go this
distance to that point, then turn, back around, up and down, hither and
yon when the street/road I'm looking for is a block away.
   And, stopping in some town asking where something is and the young
clerks have to pull out their phone to find the place is nearby.  One
would think people would have some idea of what is where in their town. 
And its not some out-of-way place but a major highway.
  I had to stop at an Enterprise place in Jersey City some time ago and
asked, among other things, where Route 1/9 (same road, two different
numbers) was.  The guy printed out Google maps in a very round about area
I got dizzy just looking at.  It was two blocks away.  His directions
gave me a tour of Jersey City and its environs.
   I like it when people give landmarks where to turn.

   What I hate are tailgaters.  There is plenty of room to go around and
all but they will get right on my bumper and stay there.  I'm turned off
somewhere just to get rid of them.  Visited a lot of driveways

  Oddly enough I've not run into that, that I;m aware of.  Almost
everyone has been polite.  Of course it be my WV plates and think I'm
some dumb hillbilly who has never been a town of more tan 500 people
before.

to CO).
