Okay please forgive the ignorant Aussie savage, but rotary? That's a funky engine in some brands of Japanese sports cars for us! Why did your government come up with the name rotary or is a that simply a popular term for it? Although I'm guessing rotary cause it's round right?Xojins said:They're not everywhere but we do have them. It's called a rotary where I live.
I hate roundabouts. At best they tend to be white knuckle affairs. At worst (like the ones in Kuwait City), you simply close your eyes, mash on the gas and hope for the best. You'd think being in an armed and armored HMMWV would give me right of way but people in the middle east yield for nothing.Gxas said:Yes we do have them. And, after three years of it being in place in my city, people still act like retards when they pull up to it.
They're common in Australia and we still have that problem.Gxas said:Yes we do have them. And, after three years of it being in place in my city, people still act like retards when they pull up to it.
not in England, but after looking at it for about half a minute it doesn't seem much more difficult to use than a roundabout, basically just going up on ramp and onto another road I guess.FalloutJack said:Does Europe have any cloverleaf roadways? You know, like this?
okay this one just scares me...Eclectic Dreck said:And for a truly exciting interchange, how about this little number in Dallas, TX:
Yes we have those, so you can get from the Motorway to smaller roads and back to the other side in case you missed an intersection. At least here in Finland, and if we got them everyone else also probably got themFalloutJack said:We do and I've seen them, but now I want to ask a question.Jewrean said:In European countries and also here in my home country of Australia roundabouts are extremely common.
I was told that there are indeed roundabouts in America but are extremely uncommon. This was also shown in the Simpsons when they visited England and were completely clueless about a roundabout.
Roundabouts reduce traffic considerably by means of increasing throughput. I suppose my question is why aren't there many roundabouts in America? If you are not from America; are roundabouts common or uncommon?
A simple roundabout
Does Europe have any cloverleaf roadways? You know, like this?
