Would be way better if the road was elevated but eh. I can only see this thing being a huge pain in the ass to plow in winter + more turns = more spins?? :gotme: ---

That you tube video makes it look just like the cluster fuck I would imagine. Just as many chances to get t-boned, and the cloverleaf has no required stop lights or weird crossing that old people will totally fuck up. ---

I’ll take a traffic circle over a stop light any day. They are just a fast, good way to manage traffic. However, people get too easily confused and don’t know how to use them properly/effectively so they then kinda suck. ---

I Can imagine this shit completely fucking up a gps or tourists who are visiting an unfamiliar area. Especially being on the “wrong” side of the row, and because of all the turns. Ever try to use a GPS in a traffic circle lol? And i’m pretty sure at :28sec that guy who was trying to merge got plowed over unless he went WOT lol. the design looks kind of sketch ---

However, people get too easily confused and don’t know how to use them properly/effectively so they then kinda suck. I agree 100%. I wish people knew how to use them. Traffic circles are way more efficient and only confuse the people who should not be on the road in the first place. ---
