Default GA is priceless

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.
