I have a new idea. You know when you go in older departments stores with revolving doors. You never get hurt or bump into anyone. Why can't we have revolving doors on all the circles.

I hope nobody tries to steal this idea before I copyright it. [insert winking emoticons going in and out of a revolving door]

My dad taught me to drive. While he passed away several years ago, I still hear him saying,"Expect the other driver to do the stupidest possible thing, because that is exactly what he is going to do."
Clearly, those roundabouts are dangerous. Many years ago they had them in Brooklyn AND THEY WERE ALL REMOVED.
I've read that the person in the LEFT lane is allowed to make a right turn. THIS IS INSANITY. Since you need to-or perhaps should, slow down at the roundabout, perhaps they should be one lane.

I can just see it now Tom. Great idea, but you probably should avoid using glass.

Perhaps the issue is sooo many drivers from different places. I've had people stop on both sides of the road to talk making it impossible to pass. That to me is a me me or g-d bless me and screw you. From that type of self centered person a toot on the horn, flashing your lights results in a dirty look for disturbing them.

Rotaries are being used successfully in numerous communities. Las Vegas piloted single lane rotaries and they were a disaster. One averaged 4-5 accidents a week - luckily (poor choice of words) the rotary was right in front of a hospital. A second lane was added and mostly solved the problem. The inebriated in Vegas, and rotaries, just don't mix well.

Rotaries in the Boston area are mostly 4 lanes, and have been around longer than I have. I've never seen an accident on one.

If you look at the directional signs prior to entering our rotaries in TV you'll see that right turns from the left lane are prohibited.

So what's wrong With Brooklyn? Any thing obvious? ::

Like a turnstile......hmmmmm The kind that can't go backwards.
I think you got something there.

Where did you read this?

Three quarters of the way around the Round-about is this: You're to be in the left lane if you are planning a right turn. Car in right lane comes barreling upon this and hits the turning car will be cited. Of course folks "should be" using that lever on their steering wheel post that's there for a reason---it's called a turn signal. There is a Tutorial on YouTube re: driving the round-abouts.

Excellent. Thank you.

They have turned TV into a tourist destination and that is not what it is.

Three things:
1. Backing up in a roundabout takes the cake.
2. Making a left turn by not using the roundabout. Saw this one in the Belvedere roundabout and the driver was totally oblivious, they were doing something wrong.
3. Going three quarters around the roundabout, in the right lane.

As usual, we need to be careful by not staying aside another driver, in the RB.

Some people don't know better and the other half doesn't care, until an accident happens!

Let's be careful out there!
