Intersections
imply that our orderly and bounded reality has places where treachery is required
and frequently encountered. The conventions of a place will indicate whether or
not a particular person will yield right-of-way to another, what an appropriate
amount of hesitation time consists of, etc. etc. etc.
How
many times do you cross yourself before making a left-hand turn? What essential
oils are appropriate for anointing the head of the cyclist who is about to run
a red light? Linseed and juniper, grapefruit and cinnamon.
If
when a highway has no intersections and only places to merge, going on and
coming off, do you count them as intersections? Merging lanes is as dangerous
as impenetrable cross-traffic depending on the circumstances.
