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. snip Don't knock the roundabouts just because Americans haven't figured out how to use them. They are much more efficient for intersections where the probability of traffic entering/leaving the intersection in any direction is about equal. Since we don't actually stop at 4 way stops anyway this is a much better system.....if we learn how to use it. Without the education part we loose the benefit. As to lynching traffic engineers....First in line are the ones who have forgotten about flashing yellows. I pass two intersections regularly where they had to put up traffic lights for the rush (half) hour but never revert to flashing yellow. Now instead of some people occasionally waiting during the day _everybody_ waits most of the time. -- Frank....H |
