"Upset"? Please, you're really not that central to my life. I'll say it again since you seem to still be in doubt: do what you wanted to do. You didn't ask "what am I allowed to do", you asked "do you all think this is a good idea", and that's the question that people answered. The overwhelming consensus is that no, it's not a good idea. You responded to a couple of posts, including mine, with a "but but but I don't think it works that way" sort of response, which always sounds to me like someone who's trying to talk themselves into something and to get others to agree. Maybe I was wrong about that, whatever. I gave you my reasons, I'm not going to argue with you about whether they're valid, but as I said, if you don't perceive the danger in the situation, I'm not sure why you bothered to ask in the first place.

I gave you reasons, so don't dissemble.

Uhhhh, I'd be utterly astonished if they could not. Something moving against traffic is jarring, to say the least. I do plenty of driving in both urban and rural settings, and I base my answer on my own perceptions
and how I see drivers react to wrong-way traffic. If that's not good enough for you, then go your merry way and best of luck to you.
