Doing 90 towards roundabouts reminds me of the many months I spent in the UK around South Harrow for a new hire training.. With lots of guys in a new hire class in '78 there were some Intalians. Thes

My least favorite was the magic roundabout in Swindon. I never did figure out which way to get though. If memory serves there were five roundabouts circling a center round about. Also, lots of big tr

Mike Razor SEZ - Roundabouts are becoming quite a fad in some parts of the US. A town near where I live is putting them in all over the place, apparently to save on the cost of traffic lights. An art

They have them all over campus here at Michigan State. They're very small and all are two lanes. Attempting to use them as two lanes is inviting an accident, as 95% of the people on them have no conc

There's a round about in Kansas City on Ward Parkway. Great road. Driving home from the Vintage race downtown near the Memorial (what is that thing, it's been so long since I've been to KC) in a smal

That's the point - there *is* no correct way to go across that junction in Swindon, you can go anti-clockwise, clockwise, straight across, change you mind half-way round or whatever. By comparison th

There are tons of roundabouts in Europe and they are efficient and cheap. Problem is your driving skills may be challenged. Furthermore there is more reliance on the vehicles lights to show the way r

Europe has so-called mini-roundabouts which are just a blob of white paint in the middle of a four-way intersection. Sexist as it may be, I have seen several women arrive at such a roundabout and all

The most stupid thing is to have a roundabout WITH traffic lights. Many normal crosings are converted to roundabouts on the European continent and by this improving the traffic flow. Roundabouts are

The problem with roundabouts is that you are only supposed to enter it by giving way to traffic that is already on it i.e. you have to wait for a gap. On very busy ones there can be a continual flow

Not a lack of politeness, IMO. With a continuous stream of fast moving traffic already on the roundabout the only way one can enter, without lights, is if someone already on the roundabout stops to l
