Roundabouts are great especially if you have experiences having to wait through multiple traffic light cycles for 6 out of 10 cars in front of you wanting to make a left turn. With the traffic circle you are through the intersection in the equivalent of less than 2 cycles, vs. 6 cycles with the traffic light... just sayin'

But to any aspiring traffic engineers here, please don’t try to shove these things into less than a square acre. Anything smaller is a dysfunctional 4-way stop.

There is a fairly new one by Emory that is the worst attempt I've ever seen. Was previously a two lane road with stop signs either side for the neighborhood cross traffic, but they made no attempt to widen the road or anything, just put a small brick island in the center of the two lanes that sticks up maybe an inch higher than the original road surface. At least 1/4 of drivers who approach the intersection don't slow down or even realize it's supposed to be a roundabout and drive straight over the bricks to continue on their way.

Yeah, that’s near my old neighborhood stomping grounds. It’s an aesthetic attempt rather than a practical attempt.

 

[Poodletop]

1) I hate those noisy obnoxious Dodge Chargers that the street racing idiots speed around in at all hours. Get a decent muffler you morons.
2) People who try to barge onto an elevator before allowing the passengers to get off first.
