Chazz you were right on the mark. I viewed the circle from the Savannah parking lot and was able to do a traffic count of over half of the circle. My findings...

Yes, and I was one of them! Going north on BV and in the RAB getting ready to indicate to those southbound on BV that I was leaving the RAB to continue north. But a red car coming east on El Camino came racing up to the RAB like he wasn't going to stop, so I took my hand away from the stalk to grab the wheel with both hands in case I had to turn quickly. Fortunately he slammed on the brakes and didn't come out far enough that I had to make an evasive maneuver. But it was too late for me to put my turn signal on. Sorry.
