Turnabout fucking sucks.
Way more go wrong than lights, increase car to car interactions massively, inappropriate european fad. This for place that don’t mind getting bog down doing more than an hour to get 50km away because they don’t have important things to do
I’ll just put this here so people can actually get som real info and not the nonsense you are spewing.
Traffic circles are safer, reduce maintenance costs, slows the fucking speeders and more efficient than your fucking stop sign and signal intersections.
I knew a girl who was instructed to turn left at a roundabout, so she proceeded to turn left when merging into the roundabout.
Poor girl, fortunately everything was fine (she did fail, but no accidents) but that’s a special kind of ‘too literal’ that loops back around to being dumb.
And that’s why turn-by-turn navigation systems phrase it as “take the third exit from the roundabout” these days.
The hard part is when back to back traffic for 15 miles worth of cars is coming from one direction and everyone else is either too scared to zipper merge or they allow the one direction to have perpetual right of way.
At some point of heavy traffic, the circle right of way must yield for zipper merging, else face my ass aggro merging and beeping at everyone who doesn’t.
Wait until you see the magic roundabout in the UK. It’s a “close your eyes, pray and hit the gas” type of place.
No one will ever be able to invade the UK, they’ll get stuck in this horror.
Holy hell
Left side driving should be illegal
It is in the most places on earth.
Good.
F. The more fundamental problem is that these are all cars, not bikes. Fuck cars.
I’m waiting til it becomes normal for individuals to use old school buses as their commuter vehicles. It’s the inevitable destination of the car size war.
AmeriKan drivers and traffic circles equates to an inefficient cluster fuck. When departing the circle, use your damn turn signal so I can enter!!!
Those small green pissing pyramids are blocking the road.
Replace the pink car with a bicycle an A is suddenly not being in the mood to yield anymore.
All cars will yield to a bicycle in the UK, because less protected members of the road traffic always take priority.
All cars should yield.
When I used to cycle, I’d just go on the pavements at large roundabouts. Not much point in being right but dead.
I personally never had any issues. British drivers are very polite and cautious.
Welp, I’m not in the UK.
Over here, people go with - what is the most threatening to themselves - and it really feels weird that people who have presumably passed the driving exam are worse at roundabouts than me.
I’m always the pink car but get cut off by car A who decides to gun it soon as I’m right where pink car is
Useful, but incomplete.
As the circle enlarges, the system approaches four T-intersections. What I want to know is: at what size circle to people lose their minds and become unable to comprehend how T-intersections work.
Fair play to people confused about multi-lane roundabouts though.
Wheres the fighter jet?
E. Pink car turned turn signal on before entering the circle, keeps turn signal on all the way around the circle, thus invalidating any method of informing other drivers of which exit they intend to use. Car E deserves rapid unplanned orthodontics.
Signals are helpful indicators, but I rarely commit until I see someone’s front wheel change direction.
You’re probably already watching people’s wheels without realising. It’s the first real tell.
When I have a Car D behind me, it’s because they overestimate my car’s acceleration capabilities.
ITT: People road raging over imaginary traffic.
Drivers seem to love complaining about drivers
