Roundabout Solution!!!!
Replace those ridiculous RB signs with a simple sign stating "Yield to the inside lane at all exits". Wouldn't that provide a more consistent rule of engagement than those current signs? The current signage allows exiting from the inside lane at every exit depending on where one enters the RB.
|
People on the main road think they have the right of way going through the round a bouts.
Alway proceed with caution. Then need a sign that says "watch out for wondering idiots" |
You can't fix stupid. The signs are clear in my opinion, If you want to go left stay in the left lane. If you want to go right get in the right lane. If you want to go straight then either lane. What is so darn hard about that?

I agree. The signs are perfectly clear.

And then there's the question of which is the inside lane. I've heard more than one discussion of this subject. Duh!

A solution - replace each roundabout with below. May be a bit costly, but hey - this is TV...
Or, each TV residential car/cart gets a toll-free wireless transmitter. Non-residents must pay .25 toll to go thru each one. |
The other problem/solution arises from a failure to follow traffic law in general: Upon entering a RB, or any multilane road for that matter, you MUST yield to traffic in BOTH lanes--this would ensure adequate spacing (for those with common sense) to accommodate those exiting from the inside lane who have gone 1/2 way around "in front" of those who entered 1/4 way around later and are going straight. How many times do you see a driver pull out of a parking lot, or make a right on red into the right lane when traffic is coming in the left lane? This is clearly against the law, and somewhat dangerous. How many trust that driver not to be swinging out into your lane?

Signs are certainly not the answer.
Proof? How effective are the stop signs and speed limit signs? |
Signs do nothing but provide information. Enforcement of laws is another issue. The signs are doing a fine job. If people choose to ignore the law that can't be blamed on signs.

Signs will not do the job.
Proof? Stop signs and speed limit signs are throughout TV doing their job of informing drivers what they should do or not do. Still they do not work because there is lack of enforcement. THEREFORE: adding new signs directing round about traffic will be no more effective that the existing signs without proper enforcement!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D |
In my opinion, we don't need any new signs. The current signs that indicated which lane you should choose when entering the roundabouts are clear. What we need are better drivers who pay attention and follow the law. I am not holding my breath.
