Unless you have been condemned to live in the Chicago area where there are
only three or four of them, of which only one ever sees any traffic. It is,
therefore, known as "Suicide Circle" and can be considered a textbook
example of how NOT to build a traffic circle. Start with a circle that is
too small, then place a stop sign at each of the six entrances, two of which
are 2-lane roads, the other four are 4-lane roads. At any given moment, at
least two of the people at the entrances have no idea what this thing is. No
one has figured out what the inside lane is for, since it is such a small
circle. It would be funny if it were not so pathetic.
