Crossroads without traffic lights

Life has probably been like a highway for me. Everything so nicely mapped and planned out, all I needed was to step the accelerator and move forward. There were the occasional slight bends and road works, but nothing really drastic.

After travelling such smooth and well-paved roads, it is time to take the nearest exit. Everything out there is funny and different. The speed limit drops, the roads have potholes, there are traffic lights, other vehicles to look out for......

And then I approach a crossjunction without traffic lights. No green or red, no clear indication whether I should stop or proceed. Left, right, straight? Fear grips the soul....
