Ok, what Ass-Hat designed

[AZsteelman]

The Roundabout for intersections instead of a stop light or stop sign?

They just started putting some of these stupid ass things in the area, and it's a damn good thing I gave up drinking & driving! Seriously, these damn things are an accident waiting to happen. I got in the wrong lane in one a few minutes ago (it's a two lane wide one, what a joke) and had to go completely around it twice before some jerk-faced moron would finally let me over.

Ok, end of rant...but can you tell I am not particularly fond of them? And people here drive like idiots anyway - now they have something else to deal with!

Good grief!

Have fun with them, they are big in New England in certian towns. They are a pain in the ass.

Blame the Brits! They have some huge ones over there.

My sister has been trying to get me to move to Arizona since she moved there last year. I now have a valid reason for not moving there. Thanks Randy.

All joking aside. I hate traffic circles too. We had some at college.

The first roundabout was constructed in Paris around the Arc de Triomphe in 1901, closely followed by Columbus Circle in New York City in 1904. The first British roundabout was five years later, in Letchworth Garden City in 1909 - originally intended partly as a traffic island for pedestrians. However, the widespread use of roundabouts began when British engineers re-engineered the traffic circle in the mid-1960s to overcome its limitations of capacity and for safety issues. Unlike traffic circles, roundabouts operate with yield control to give priority to circulating traffic and eliminate much of the driver confusion associated with traffic circles and driver wait associated with junctions that have traffic lights. Roughly the same size as signaled intersections with the same capacity, roundabouts also are significantly smaller in diameter than traffic circles, separate incoming and outgoing traffic with pedestrian islands and therefore encourage slower and safer speeds.

I too hate these stupid fu*&&*g things but for entertainment get on one and just do about 5 loops honking and flashing your lights you can make everyone stop and have it all to yourself:grin: :grinFU:

 

[mnelson]

I'm sure you fell into that category when you got in the wrong lane and all :grin: :boxing:

 

[Greg]

As a NASCAR fan, I think the roundabouts are exciting, and you had better get the hell out of my fucking way!!

 

[Volusianator]

Hundreds of them in WI, get used to them, they're coming to a town near you, and in quantity!

 

[rabbgp]

The are especially fun on a motorcycle.

 

[Dougful]

We just had a road get them installed at every intersection for 2.5 miles. It's like driving freaking s-curves. No one uses it anymore.

 

[daniyal]

Roundabouts are awesome! and a great way to show off your cornering abilities

 

[Volusianator]

Drifting is fun!

 

[MichiganM]

Yeah I hate those things too Randy!

Man, that's just mean, Cliff!

 

[Halon]

Don't go to Vail!
They have roundabouts, but there's ice on the ground and tons of rich girls who can't drive. It's a nightmare.


TYLER

 

[Donk]

I live in Green Bay, I have to go through two of them everytime I leave the house. They are actually really a pain in the ass.

 

[cvm4]

Man, that's just mean, Cliff!

I go through one every other day and I tell ya people don't know whether to go or yield IN the circle. Wow... :angeryell

 

[RigilKent]

yeah not a big fan or roundabouts
