Probably one of the Dumbest things Created

IF I Were a Teenager, I'd Cruse the circle
for an Hour or so.

If pulled over say "I'm lost"



“I don’t know who has the right of way,” said Lower Paxton Twp. police Lt. Gary Seefeldt. “I’m as confused as anyone. I should get it, but I don’t.”

The whole point of roundabouts is that they slow traffic and any accidents are usually sideswipe crashes, which are usually less dangerous than head-on crashes. And because the speed limit is 20 mph through each roundabout, none should be fatal.

Vehicles in roundabouts have the right of way,
however Penny witnessed driver after driver stopping halfway into the roundabout to let others in.

Aaah Just being Nice, Why make people sit for
ever till they can get in ?

You'd hate to live here. There are a dozen or so "roundabouts" within a few miles of my home. And those are just the ones I can think of, off the top of my head. We got some big ones down here




And they been here a while-

I could see gigantic ones being OK
replacing several crossways at once.

not much different then a Clover leaf with Exits added.

But Small ones replacing a 4 way intersection ?
just Stupidity to cause Congestion & Fender Benders
in my opinion.

They have Merry-go-Rounds at all the Fairs, and Amusement Parks! Wheeeee, Faster, Faster!

There's only 3 big ones like that. Most of them are in neighborhoods. What's worse are all the giant speedhumps (humps not bumps!) they have on all the side streets now.

Be fun to go put up a bunch of those WRONG WAY signs around the circle late at night. The video would definately be worth the $10,000

 

[diggummup]

Maybe put up one of these-

Wonder if a bunch of lawyers designed these to keep em coming back?

 

[poorhunter78]

You guys remember the merry go rounds at the parks. Everyone Pile on! See how fast it would go. Who ever made it the longest was the winner!

Wonder how many times it would take to go around before the tires begin to pop on a car?
