I fully understand the roundabout rules and agree that if everyone understood and followed them precisely, there wouldn’t be problems. But that just isn’t going to happen. So the next best thing is to try to make the roundabouts idiot proof. |
Look like your plan would work except for the tractor-trailers that use our roads. The roundabouts are not big enough for a big truck to stay in one lane. Good try and good idea though.
