    In Taiwan, we do roundabouts all wrong. We add traffic lights in the middle of them.

    They’ve started using traffic circles in my state. They work sooo much better than traffic lights at intersections.

        I love roundabouts, but goddamn are they annoying when you’re stuck in a route starvation situation. I’ve had bad days when I’m stuck for close to 5 minutes at one near my house depending on time of day and approach route.

            It’s already a 2/2.5 lane roundabout, but if you’re on entrance 3, while 1 and 2 are busy as hell, you may not have a window to safely go through.

            This roundabout is at a major intersection just off of a freeway and between like 3 different shopping centers, so it’s awful to go through at rush hour. I’ve gotten good at eyeballing windows that scare the piss out of my wife in that roundabout.

          Traffic circles are not real roundabouts. They are just a road that have a circle shape. For example traffic circles often have traffic lights.

          Roundabouts are traffic circles. But they have to be just a circle with “give way” at the entrance. No stop signs, no traffic lights.

      There’s a few diesel cars that can reach that distance on one tank (though it requires hypermiling)

      Since you’re in a roundabout, you just need a large funnel into the gas tank. Every time around, someone standing at the side pours a bit of fuel in while you pass, so you get a splash of fuel per lap!
