The most important thing is to =stay= in the roundabout until you =know=, with sufficient lead time, where you get out. No, the most important thing is for taxpayers (AKA: "Users") to lynch traffic "engineers" who insist on foisting such silliness as "roundabouts", "left turn only" arrows, and other "traffic calming devices" on the rest of us. A couple of years ago, right here in Iowa City, a bunch of these so-called "engineers" installed (without warning or local input) "chicanes" on a straight length of residential street, in an effort to slow traffic. (Apparently one of the neighbors had repeatedly complained about speeders.) Was down in southern Mexico last fall. Along the highways out into the rural areas were small settlements of a few houses. In these areas citizens get together and construct their own speed bumps. Did a great job of speed control without a policeman in sight. Quite cost effective. ![]() -- Gene Seibel Gene & Sue's Flying Machine - http://pad39a.com/gene/ Because we fly, we envy no one. |
