This is missing car F that's just going around the roundabout over and over because its fun and there technically aren't any rules against it
In my country we have roundabouts with two lanes and the ones nearest to the airport are probably the most dangerous because you get loads of tourists on rental cars who have never seen a roundabout before, let alone a two-lane roundabout.
The UK has several "magic roundabouts" which are roundabouts within a roundabout.
Truly excellent.
Two lane roundabouts are common where I live, and there's hundreds of thousands of people who've lived in this region their entire lives and don't know how to drive in them.
The roundabout in question, there is one closer to the airport, but this one is much busier.
nah, right side, thankfully there are no major accidents or anything, you just see the panic in some drivers
Political compasses are getting waaay too abstract for me
I thought we had this struggle session already?
Roundabouts > intersections for cars, but worse for people.
So in places of little to no foot-traffic it's better.
I present you this nightmare: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/726934559060394086/857268915016564736/unknown.png
Plaza España (Spain Square), Córdoba , Argentina
A roundabout in the most dense and busy part of city that is akchually a square nobody ever stepped on because you'll have to wait 15 minutes for the traffic lights to allow you cross the street, and if you want to get to the other side walking around it will take you 20 minutes.
Anyways, I love Nueva Córdoba neighbourhood, pedestrian inconveniences (slightly) exaggerated for comical purpose.
No, no, it does, I've been there. Check next to Av. Hipolito Yrigoyen there are cross walks in both sides, like at 5 and 11. And then Olmos and Lugones, like at 8 and 2 respectively.
A lot of roundabouts have crosswalk and pedestrians have priority on them
This basically only works if you're the dutch and have trained your entire country to watch for the not-car for like 40 years
Paint on the ground isn't stopping anyone who's used to being designed foremost and exclusively to
In Canada at least, it's typical to install a pedestrian light at all roundabout crosswalks, the pedestrian pushes a button and the light flashes yellow telling drivers to stop.
It's pisses off drivers to no end however, especially for areas with even some frequent foot traffic, since pedestrians get priority.
Yeah, in satanistics commie hell holes probably.
Running over pedestrians is where the real freedomz is at
There's a ton where I live and my experience is they are better than crossroads, geberally. Maybe Americans just can't be trusted
Car C has so much of a gap there. If they can't take that they are a bad driver. Knowing when to take an opportunity to go is important too.
I hate busy roundabouts. I get they are more efficient for flow but god damn they are nervewracking to traverse. Sometimes there is just a neverending stream of traffic going through and you feel extra pressured just to get on the damn thing and then you have to slowly crawl through it making sure no crazy people ignored right of way while also watching a thousand different ped crossings. And then there are multi-lane ones that are just a huge mess. But I guess i feel the same way about lights with no dedicated left turn phases, fuck driving in general
Having watched a lot of car crash and road rage videos on youtube, car C is an asshole that needs to learn to share the road. Like 98% of accidents happen because people are in too much of a hurry to go home and do nothing.
Yes but ultimately you should just wait, they're going to go. What I see assholes do is honk and then follow after the car and attempt to get out and start a fight. Maybe I just have a lot of patience while driving but stuff like this I just let it slide.
Think this I guess
It's called the East City Roundabout. It is not a roundabout, it's just a circular intersection.
And there's bonus tram tracks cutting through the middle
Oh, a multiple-lane roundabout. Yeah I saw those, and aren't that bad, see the Plaza España comment. @cambria 's example in the other hand, is a fucking nightmare.
Those are pretty horrible, what makes this example even more dogshit is that it is not actually a roundabout. It's called one, it looks like one, but it ain't. It's just a large, multi-lane circular intersection.
The right of way regulations. Traffic inside the circle does not have the right of way, sometimes, but then sometimes it does. Every continous line in there marks a "you have to stop for incoming traffic".
It's most easily seen if you're approaching on the leftmost lane from the South-West. Following the markings, you may only exit to the South East or the south. Or be stuck in an indefinite loop.
Now the tram line running through the roundabout, MFers build a tunnel goddamit.
Trams through roundabouts are actually a great way to provide transit priority, you only need to stop car traffic in two places.
maybe they are gonna have more roads using the roundabout later? like start with a two-way then add more as they need?
Wtf, that's like combining the worst aspects of a roundabout (land use, shitty for pedestrians and being confusing) and the worst aspects of an intersection (getting t-boned and dieing).
