Adding some actual signs to the thing would probably help people stop assuming it's some kind of weird split turn lane. also lol.

Like at some point this seems like it becomes a situation where it seems like following the actually road rules might make things more dangerous. If like everyone is using it wrong, and its sort of working, then trying to do the right thing might just gently caress things up. The mix of the two is worst situation.

I like also that apparently they have to put the weird central reservations in because just a normal road would obviously result in people randomly driving across lanes whenever they feel like it, rather than the current, orderly approach of most people driving in the oncoming lane.

RatHat posted:I thought I knew how roundabouts worked but after watching this even I'm confused It's incredibly simple, you just give way to the left (assuming you're in america) That's it, if there is someone on the roundabout or entering the roundabout to your left, you let them go, and then you turn right onto the roundabout and keep going around until you reach the exit you want. The whole point of them is that they are so simple to use that you don't need lights to control them. But no apparently the solution is to just turn into the oncoming traffic and do something you would never normally do on any loving road ever.

A roundabout is just a series of t-junctions onto a one-way road that happens to go in a small circle

The confusing part about that video is that there are cars driving on both the correct and wrong side of the road before they even get to the roundabout.

It doesn't help when there's no sign or indication that it's a roundabout. On the ground coming up to it it just looks like a weird intersection with a lot of lanes going every which way.

the secret to using a roundabout is when you see one you have to stop driving and post about it on the internet
