Eugene GloverThey’ve got an actual 2-lane traffic circle out here, it’s quite busy, not very well lit, and, I’ll admit, I’m a little uncomfortable running through one of these in the dark.
dlupham@LoneLocust I'm in France 3 to 4 months a year. There are traffic circles everywhere, some as small as a 2 meter circle to go around. In Seattle where I grew up and my daughter lives they have traffic circles mostly in the residential area that are somewhere between 15 and 20 feet in diameter. Also a few large normal sized ones. My experience seems to be that in the US nobody really know traffic circle etiquette. I am hoping that over time there will be more traffic circles in the US and people will learn how to use them correctly. They do same time and money.
@dlupham oh I’m 100% behind traffic circles. They are cheaper and they are much much safer but they do not teach people how to use them in this country.
I’m no exception. There are very few in Arizona. Fewer still that are the two lane ones where you supposed to pull to the middle if you’re going more than one exit.
It was really dark and remarkably busy and I didn’t really want to have to do it, but I had no choice.
