Yup, that pretty much it in a nutshell. You have to assume that the other driver is going to do the wrong thing until you see evidence to the contrary. My father always said, "Stop signs don't stop cars". I was riding my bicycle today and some one with a stop sign in front of them pulled out right in front of me. I was anticipating that they might so there was no problem.

Then there's the Quezon City Circle in Manila.



It goes from four lanes in some places up to eight lanes in other places. Combine this with maybe the worst drivers in the world, this might be why, after living there for a year, I laugh at people having trouble with our little roundabouts and people complaining about how people in The Villages drive.

You really have no idea how bad it can be until you live and drive in a place like this.

Yes, yes, yes. Roundabouts should be 1 lane and slow down.

For those of you saying the roundabouts should be one lane...are you saying that Morse and Buena Vista should be one lane also? Can you imagine the traffic trying to merge from multi lane roads onto a single lane roundabout?
