Since I'm currently working out of town in North Pole Alaska a small town outside of Fairbanks(feeder community), I am kind of surprised by the 3 traffic circles and dividers on some streets. Of course the circles are done to National standards of the ideal car size as conceived by planners.
This doesn't account for the soccer mom driving the 1 ton quad cab Ford that are routinely forced to go thru these circles who slows way down and inhibits the flow.It also doesn't account for vehicles with trailers, commercial vehicles and the odd 4 wheeler. Hell i saw somebody try to pull doubles though one last week on his way to make a delivery.
Also better signage or published instructions for the morons would be helpful. I do admit they cut a little time over lights at the same intersection until there is a fender bender.Not worth the overall cost.But now that they are built a little tuning up is necessary.

The circles in my neck of the woods have a sloping curb on the inside.
To continue straight thru, I much rather take a bump and cut the corner than swing right - swing left - swing right again.

These oversize trucks (used as cars, not in a work capacity)are absurd in suburban/urban environments; they don’t fit in any spots, they blocks the view on corners - they just don’t fit...
