Default Re: Scary Roundabout Story

There is a real easy enhancement they could make to these roundabouts.* I also drive in the UK all the time.* So picture going around the opposite way, sitting on the opposite side of the car, and exiting on the left.* Now how do they make this work easy?* They paint on the road lanes coming in which lane you should be in for the exit you plan to take.* And then continue that around the circle. So if you were traveling North on Buena Vista and approaching the circle at Odell and Bailey Trail, the first exit would be Odell and that would be painted on the right inbound lane.* If you wanted to continue on Buena Vista or go toward the left (Bailey Trail) those would be painted on the left hand approach lane.* Once past Odell, the painted Buena Vista moves to the right lane and the painted Bailey Trail stays in the left.* When you pass the continuation of North bound Buena Vista, the painted name of Bailey Trail moves to the right lane as that is the next exit.* It is really easy and it really works in almost all right hand drive countries.* Australia does it the same way.* Now in Malaysia the lines on the road are only there as a suggestion, so roundabouts become very dangerous.*
