:lol:
 
we have two in our area. Husband hates them. I don't mind.
I think there is something in the middle... and there's the freeway off to the sides so you do kinda have to watch what you're doing.
I thought it was kinda fun the first time I drove it.
Now it's just there-

Roundabouts is a great idea, but if there is an accident inside the roundabout, and it will cause major traffic (worser) than red light.

Sorry about my lousy drawing;

Since I am always on roundabouts -

Roundabouts have four accident points, and an intersection has 16. Theres more chances the interesections will have accidents over a roundabout.

Roundabouts if used properly by all people will also reduce road rage.

The best way to piss people off and turn a 2 lane roundabout into a four wide of angry drivers is to "drive lost" in them. Just don't do that around a Lamborghini. They dont seem to appreciate it.
 
hey PFH - doesn't that pix look.... phallic?
 
Maybe it is the way traffic is directed around here but I hate roundabouts. I use to have to pass 2 of them when on the job and I could always expect a long line waiting to get into it. But then again Ohio drivers just plane suck.

Oh, and I love my roundabouts.

Sequioas, you should start a new thread on continuous flow intersections!

LOL, why don't you start one? I don't like that kind of intersection. Looks too complicated and too many accident points.

Yeah, its being put in Loveland Colorado right now. So I dont have experience with it. But the idea behind it is to reduce stop light time.
 
Makes a great trap. :lol:
