Insane Half-Assed Intersection Modification in Bogata, Columbia

[Brian556]

In order to continue straight, you have to drive off the pavement and over a curb that has asphalt chunks dumped over it to make it more passable.
It looks like the large building is new, and when they built it the street around it to circulate traffic around the building while failing to allow access for the straight movement. Looks like an engineering blunder that was not caught until it was built.

A.K.A How Not to Reconstruct Intersections

Looks like they couldn't decide whether to allow the straight movement or not.  Moving further back, there is both a stop sign and a do not enter sign.

Based on some of what I saw in Honduras, this is not surprising.  Things are done differently.  Money may have "disappeared" prior to finishing.

After the middle of the outbound bridge on CA-13 in El Progreso, Honduras collapsed from an earthquake, they closed it with a pile of dirt on each side.  Traffic had to figure out it went from a divided highway to two way traffic on the original inbound bridge.  That bridge itself seemed to have heaved some at the joints, but they kept it open to traffic. 

Many other places you saw where a project had just ended and was ready for the continuation. But no smooth transition, just the abrupt change
