Roundabout

I hate roundabouts.  I guess in theory they make sense, but from what I can tell they only work with small amounts of traffic, which doesn't really exist anywhere around here, where roundabouts are common.  Roundabouts assume drivers are:

  • familiar with the concept
  • going the speed limit
  • using signals and 
  • obeying traffic laws
I still don't understand why there are two lanes, how are you supposed to get from one lane to the other while going around in a circle? 

When I go to my auntie's house from work I have to go through this:



She loves it; I white-knuckle through it as safely as I can, fearing for safety.

It's still not as bad as the Magic Roundabout in England.
