I agree with the author; we need many, many more roundabouts.

I have a truck. I drive right across the grass in the middle.

[exist]

I hate it when people don’t follow the order at 4 way stop signs. Drives me insane.

[Signalman]

Roundabout? Are you referring to a Traffic Circle?

[GnL]

I also like roundabouts.

[listenhillary]

I love them. Single lane only though. If it’s multi lane, use a stop light.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’d love to kick the **** out of the moron who designed the one on the north end of Payson, Arizona.

[trumandogz]

For some reason drivers in Latin American and Europe can figure out the roundabout concept but American drivers cannot.

[PackerBoy]

We have a number of them in Dublin, Ohio - a suburb of Columbus. I like them, and am pretty sure they have reduced travel time AND accidents at a few intersections.

The smaller ones may be a bit of a challenge for larger trucks, though.

Gotta hand it to Michigan. Leave it to the “Motor City”. We have had a boatload of roundabouts constructed here in Oakland County over the last couple of years. I love ‘em. Best compromise ever invented for intersections.

The ONLY ‘Roundabout’ I care about is:

There’s quite a few here in Golden, Colorado. They’re pretty sweet. Seen ‘em first in UAE, though.

i learned to drive roundabouts overseas, and wish we used them more here. but drivers herw could use more training.

[brownsfan]

A city next to where I live has had one of those things forever. We hicks call it a circle.

A circle is a terrible idea. The spokes come up quite fast, and it’s easy to miss where you want to go and have to ride around again. Each trip around contributes to clogging traffic on the spokes. Ideally, if you’re going more than 1/2 way around, you should move to the inner lane, then migrate out as you approach your destination. You really want Americans to figure that out?

My mother got in a crash one time at the circle, and from then on would go miles out of her way to avoid the darn thing.

It's a "traffic calming" device devised by the new urbanists and endorsed by the U.N. in its Agenda 21.

Save them for Europe, we don't need any U.N. crap over here. They need to move their congregation elsewhere also.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Roundabouts = control

No thanks. You guys can drink the koolaid, but I hate 'em. Give me good old traffic signals and stop signs anyday.

[GeronL]

those are ridiculous things.

[dalereed]

Hell no, they are a pile of crap!!!!

Keep the foreign crap foreign!

[Tamar1973]

Roundabouts are the reason that Europeans and Koreans are such bad drivers, IMO!

[Jemian]

I hate them.

[shankbear]

OK....I drove a bunch in France and they have roundabouts everywhere. They keep traffic moving much better. I know it is France but it isn’t such a horrible place. I found the same thing in Belgium.
