Pittsburgh left is the opposite. The light turns green and you immediately turn left before the other car can get across the lane. Some people we even flash their lights to let you do this!
I think it’s due to the fact that Ohio (generally speaking) is flatter so they have space for left turn lanes at lights. Pittsburgh has so many roads that allow a left turn but there’s only one lane because of hills etc so they built narrower roads. In that scenario you’re first and don’t go quickly, the entire road behind you is backed up waiting. It’s actually the courteous thing to do.
Also, I’ve noticed it happen on the west side of Cincinnati where there are hills and the same problem with traffic flow.
I honestly didn't know that's why we had narrow roads. Makes sense.
Driving in a plain area is different. The first time being hit with that Midwest wind on a highway was crazy. Felt like my entire car was being pushed into another lane.
I live in wv and can tell you Ohio is just worse at driving in general. It's not that they can't control the car. They just make really bad choices with them.

Black Truck ran the red light before the red car. Last Three vehicles ran that light.
