When you install a traffic circle on an area with population unfamiliar with them I think you should slant the connecting roads more. Orient the inroad more towards counter clockwise and make the corner tight enough that turning in the wrong direction would clearly require effort. Similarly make the turn to the off-road tighter so people need to slow down more before they reach the crosswalk.

Yup take solace that one day they will try it against someone who is as big (or even more) of an rear end in a top hat as them and they will both end up having a bad time. People who drive like that will pay the piper at some point.

My favorite is when the car making the rear end in a top hat maneuver has body damage that says they paid the piper already and will continue to do so.

Have you seen the glory that is an East Bay roundabout?

Four-way stop, of course, and you must go around this lovely greensward...

That image was taken a few years ago, and that particular greenery is now over two meters high and completely fills the planted area which means you can't see anything coming at you, like cars or cyclists blowing through the stop sign and going the wrong way around the circle.

There are a lot more than just that one, and all are horrific.

Unlicensed drink-driver crashes Ford Mustang during gifted birthday experience
Footage shows the moment an unlicenced drink-driver crashed a Ford Mustang during his gifted birthday experience.

The incident happened shortly before 4pm on Sunday 24 March in Hradec Kr�lov�, a city in the Czech Republic.

A statement from police confirmed the 50-year-old driver had �strengthened himself with a beer and a shot of rum before driving� and tested positive for alcohol during a breathalyzer test at the scene of the crash.

He committed 4 offences at the same time - running a red light, not adjusting the speed limit, driving without a driver�s license and alcohol behind the wheel.

The experience was supposed to be a ride in a sports car as a passenger, but the man was offered to drive the vehicle instead.

That explains that yellow Mustang

It doesn�t explain why that article is on a .uk news site and still reads like it was run through multiple translations.

It's because Oliver Browning at The Independent ran a Czech article through Google Translate, removed some extraneous bits, and hit "publish".

gently caress me for honking too much, but I've seen too many accidents here due to the lovely design of this intersection. Where I'm sitting, left-turning traffic from the oncoming direction blocks the view of anybody steaming up in lane 2, and if you just take your left without tip-toing cautiously, you run the risk of getting smoked in your passenger side. I've seen it happen twice in one year.

SUV ahead of me had right-of-way until they didn't, and I'm honking at them to proceed. Down here in the south it's just so common for someone to stop and wave you through when they've got no reason to stop.

Also WTF with the guy on the bike? Probably had a clearer view of the oncoming lanes than I had, but apparently those 3 seconds are too long to wait when you've gotta get to Publix. Better pull some sketchy poo poo.

For all I know he was stopping on a full green to let me through. People just do that around here.

Of all these videos I've seen from Arabian peninsula they seem to have this skill down to an art form. A SUV is tumbling round and round and flinging young guys in white dresses all over the place and then they walk away.
