Just go slowly and stop if there is a car coming.

Yes , pretty common for large vehicles to have to to this sooner or later. Driver shouldn't be operating such large vehicles if their training and licensing, and knowledge of turning circle isn't enough for them to know how to do this safely.

We should be discouraging unnecessarily large vehicles anyway, ideally through urban design like this. Another element I like is sequential speed bumps with uneven gaps, smaller vehicles already going reasonable speeds can just weave through the gaps, larger vehicles going fast are required to slow.

Going slow doesn't make the wheelbase shorter. Forcing people to drive onto the lane of oncoming traffic is bad infrastructure design.

Maybe, but if you insist on an oversized vehicle and don’t have the skill to keep it in lane, then maybe a little inconvenience is ok

The traffic engineer interviewed knows the wheelbase of common vehicles. Most people don't need to drive into traffic, they're just not turning the wheel enough, early enough.

But the people driving cars with the wheelbase of a semi can still take the turn, you just look for oncoming traffic before you use part of the lane.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Or too early. Part of the flood of bad driving since pandemic is everyone seems to cut corners now. Whether crossing lanes or the into opposing traffic on a curve, having trouble with a simple turn, or changing lanes while turning
