LOL Bo and Luke would be proud

Not a fan of those things. They've been putting them in here like crazy in Arizona. Trying to be like the Europeans I guess.

Ours are 2 lanes going around the circle and no one seems to know how to use them. We've had all kinds of accidents in them. Semi's that go too fast and flip over, shutting the whole road down. We've had kids in brand new Camaro's and Mustangs that try to drift around them. About 6 months ago a nice shiny yellow Camaro ended up right in the middle of the round-a-bout parked on top of the landscaping I watched that one happen.

I'm thinking we need a round-a-bout at EVERY intersection, no matter how large or small. Think of all the property that could be wasted, also more time could be wasted trying to figure out who has the right of way.

We need even more politicians being proactive on this, not fewer. /sarc

My buddy has several round abouts in Dublin Ohio. Best thing we have seen, there seems to be a lot of women from India that have moved here and 40 years old getting a drivers license. One Sunday morning we were headed somewhere and one of those new drivers in front of us in a mini van. She pulls up to the round about and makes a LEFT turn and exits at the first street. Luckily no one was coming and it was funny to see.
