Itās a busy road and this place gets a lot of drive by customers on their long road trip. Most are there just to buy buns and keep going. They are looking for short time parking which the area is lacking.
I was there a few times. Did not have any issues with quality.
We stopped at a yellow line and 3 minutes is not a lot of time, so I had to circle the block in my car several times until they were done buying. I did not find a legal parking space that is reasonably close at that time.
People passing there are not familiar with the area and wonāt bother driving around 15 minutes to find parking.
Unfortunate this solution did not work out. Strange that they used help from their āfriendā.
On a similar note in Taichung I often see fast food drive through lines or shopping center parking entrances backed up so much that cars are waiting in line on the road. And police are fine with it!
e.g. here on weekends at Costco in Taichung the right lane with the red no stopping line will have a very long line of cars waiting to enter the parking lot. When it gets busy the cars could be stopped for more than 5 minutes without moving.
Should police put a camera and bag cash from thousands of traffic tickets there?
So the bun place customers might take this approach. Waiting (temporary parking) on the road in a ātraffic jamā is not illegal. So just donāt drive onto the sidewalk and stop on the road
Especially the dashun rd one with the new train going through the middle. On the other hand, the driving has gotten a lot better in k town. Still dog shit. But still kuch better than before. This gentrification that has been happening there is having results. Slowly, but surely. Certia. Places like aozhidi ar elite little Taipei a like wannabe spots. The fashion, attitudes, rent, everything
When it comes to government, sometimes itās best not to ask for a logical reasoning. For your own mental well being. They fuck up the lines, signs, lights etc. I am curious though, if that is actually on the test. Usually itās multiple choice on those testsā¦.for efficiency. And totally proving safety
If people need a chemistry background for driving whilst not needing to know how to turn at a light or parkā¦.welp, the fight is real. Folks need to be smarter, but not THAT kind of smart lol.
I think everyone here agrees the Taiwanese driver licensing tests are not fit for purpose. Iām just demonstrating how that is a multiple choice question
More evidence of just because you have them doesnāt mean you use themā¦
Lady pulls out from market parking lot without even looking and right into a large truck getting herself run over and killed. I passed by the accident about an hour after it happened and I could only see the truck and the police. I couldnāt tell what happened and then a day later I saw it in the news.
Weāve all seen many people on the roads here pull out without looking, blow through stop/yield signs or markings without even taking a glanceā¦the fact that accidents like this donāt happen a lot more is whatās more surprising to me.
Earlier that same day I was almost hit by a lady who pulled out of a car wash into the road while looking right at me. There were even cars right behind me. I slowed down and laid on the horn a bit and she stopped, almost blocking the whole lane. I saw her looking at me the whole time.
Thatās so Taiwan, and it almost feels like they donāt care about getting hit. The same goes for looking into the rear mirror. I think most people never do it, though thatās just an assumption, based on nothing but my understanding of localsā typical behavior.
Foreign tourist cycling through Taroko is hit after a truck driver does a dumb overtake and comes back over way too close and hits the cyclist. Oh yeah also an illegal overtake since itās double yellow. Itās another person on the road that has no idea how to overtake and keep safe distance when moving back overā¦
The tourist was sent to the hospital but his injuries are reportedly not serious.
