Roundabouts don't work when most of your population are complete idiots.
Every fucking day. HONK! HONK! SCREEECH! HONK! And a half-mile long line to get out of town. It wasn't like this before, when we had a traditional signal. Has not gotten any better, it's been installed for 4 or 5 years now. Gets worse when the roads are icy, because obvious reasons..
Either the idiots either can't learn it, or THEY DON'T WORK AS ADVERTISED!
I love roundabouts. Driving in straight line is boring.
I'd rather go down to the track and drive in circles.
Our roundabouts are tiny. There isn't the biggest population around here, but big enough that it is 2x larger than the infrastructure was built to handle. It probably explains why our roundabout experience here has been complete shit. Maybe if we didn't have incompetent civil engineers here, it wouldn't be so bad.
