Re: Driving in the roundabouts
Mel1,
Did you ever live in Massachusetts? You'd feel right at home there.
I'm not sure where the "Yield to traffic in the rotary" thing came from ( in recent years). Some new PC thing I guess.
For many years, at least in Mass. it was every man for himself. The problem with yielding to traffic in the rotary is that it slows down (or stops, if someone doesn't know what yield means) the incoming traffic which is the very thing the rotary is intended to eliminate.
If everyone in the rotary keeps moving and adjusts their speed (not stopping!) to allow incoming traffic to blend the system works perfectly.
