Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

Bob's Straw Delivery / City Center Exit 1/2 Mile / Oh,man... I've been away too long.
What kind of city uses the same paint pattern to represent both separate lanes and opposing traffic??? I hope the wolf sets things straight.
There were roads like that in France: 3 lanes, the outer lanes were used by traffic in both directions and the middle lane was used for overtaking. Yes, both directions would use the same lane for overtaking and yes, it is as dangerous and deadly as it sound.
Exemple: this spot before 2012 https://maps.app.goo.gl/CSTMkeS62SZ3FGKU7?g_st=ac
Maybe they change which lanes are which direction depending on traffic flow? I've seen that with overhead electric indicators of lanes (red x's and green check marks).
"suicide lanes" they call them
Also it looks like it switches from a two to a three lane road. This is a hadron collider for cars
Building codes have advanced since the wolf was last here...
The wolfs car is going to collide with that blue one which is driving the opposite direction on the same lane.
I think you might mistake the weirdly drawn blue trunk for a hood. The person driving also seems to be sitting front left, indicating the right direction of travel.

Oh. My bad. you're right.
And if course.. The obvious red tail lights.
This is one of the best far sides I have seen bravo bravo
