Vehicles must make 90-degree turns at newly paved Taichung intersection
Vehicles must make 90-degree turns at newly paved Taichung intersection
2025-09-02
The contractor for a road resurfacing project at the intersection of Beishi East and Yingcai roads in Taichung’s Shalu District seems to have taken some artistic license when painting the road shoulder lines. These red and white lines were painted at nearly 90 degrees at the corners of the intersection, which means that vehicles turning right have to turn at nearly a right angle to avoid illegally crossing the red line. Residents have been complaining nonstop about this ridiculous design.
This is not normal. It’s hilarious.
It’s ridiculous, really ridiculous.
Let’s take a look at this newly paved intersection to see what’s leaving people so flabbergasted.
These vehicles seem to smoothly make their right turn, but in fact all their right-side wheels go over the red and white lines indicating the road shoulder. It’s not that drivers don’t want to follow the rules, but the lines were painted at such a sharp angle that cars have to turn at nearly 90 degrees.
Drives over the lines
It’s almost 90 degrees. I just drive like I used to, and go over the lines a bit.
This intersection in Taichung’s Shalu District recently underwent a reconstruction project that reduced the number of lanes to add sidewalks, making it more pedestrian-friendly. But the road shoulder lines were drawn in such a way that cars have to turn at a right angle, or else their wheels illegally cross the red line.
Finds lines inconvenient
You might cross the lines when turning, which is inconvenient for driving.

Any parts where the contractor failed to follow the design plans will be reviewed in accordance with the contract. The contractor and supervisor could both be fined for negligence.
At other intersections, the road shoulder lines bend in an arc so that vehicles can turn smoothly, unlike the 90-degree turn here. The Taichung City Government said it has already asked the contractor to fix this problem.

靜宜大學商圈道路90度轉彎 網友諷"天兵設計"
2025-09-02
台中市沙鹿區，北勢東路與英才路口施作"路平工程"，縮減了車道，用來增設人行道，並在路肩劃紅白線，做為邊線標示。卻疑似因為，包商沒有按圖施工，邊線彎角竟然劃成將近九十度，車輛轉彎要開"直角"，引起附近居民，罵聲一片，認為是"天兵設計"，令人傻眼!

“本來就不正常，笑死人”

“傻眼，真的傻眼”
到底是什麼，令人又氣又好笑呢?我們來實地直擊，這個路口。
轉彎轉過去了啊，但仔細看它們的輪子，大小車都壓線，對向，也一樣!是不守規則的人太多，還是真的很難呢?老駕駛開開看，車身拐出了，這個角度!

"接近九十度，我會照以前的開法，就壓線進來"
台中市沙鹿區，北勢東路與英才路口，最近進行道路改善工程，縮減了車道面積，將增設人行道，但實際劃好標線後，卻逼著車子得走直角轉彎，否則就壓線違法。

"轉彎的時候，可能會壓到線，造成行車不方便"

“廠商未依圖說施工的部分，將依契約檢討施工廠商，及監造廠商疏失，辦理扣罰”
其它有人行道路口，過彎處呈圓弧形，讓車輛順暢彎過去，不像北勢東路是直角。市府表示，已要求廠商立即改善。
