In A Roundabout Way

Recently a busy country intersection near me has been transformed from a 4 way stop to a roundabout. I'm liking it.

* Traffic is no longer backed up at the intersection

* You should only need to be concerned with traffic on your left rather than left, right and across

* If the area looses electricity...no problem, because there are no lights that need to be functioning for the smooth flow of traffic.

* Roundabouts are common in Europe and you know how much I like Europe

It amazing though how many people do not know what to do when they get to one.
