Coming Soon to an Intersection Near You



"Dealing with roundabouts is easy when basic rules are followed," such as the lane discipline rules at 1:10 into this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaqcCnduf3g.

Holy crap! I just watched your "dealing with roundabouts video" I guess if they do put these in here as proposed, I may not be able to drive anymore....

Drew, the one on 38 isn't a problem, since there isn't that much traffic. Ever been to Dupont Circle in DC? At rush hour it's hellish. I walked through there at 6 one day, and was amazed anything moved. Even closer to home, there is a circle up in New Berlin on Moorland Road that is a problem no matter when you drive through there.
This is just the trendy thing in road design, it will pass in 10 years when the professors at road design school rediscover the magic of traffic lights.

maybe what we're missing is the soothing music while driving thru a roundabout? not a fan
