In the roundabout it should be a continuous flow, and no one should have to stop, yield, or give way at all except in an emergency. As for roundabouts in TV being smaller than anywhere else, thousands of them in UK and Europe are way smaller. |

I lived near some years ago, and used it regularly on way to work. It's actually a brilliant system, and works well. There are two in UK using that system. Maybe TV is not ready for it yet! You may spot that the mini roundabouts are just a painted circles, no raised centers. There are many roundabouts with just that painted circle at junctions all over UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHVF1rnUKHw |

I have been to Europe and never saw a RAB smaller than the Villages. Some on the side streets were the same size. |

A non resident visitor to Europe appears to call a resident a liar. Or in kinder terms telling him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. |

After reading this, I spoke to my friend in England who has visited me in the Villages several times. He agrees the roundabouts are close in size. If he had told me the opposite, I would have admitted my error in judgement. This time, I will take a measuring tape if it makes you happy. It is obvious the many larger ones are MUCH LARGER. But, I will measure those, as well. |

Honest. At the roundabout by SeaBreeze. I thought for sure I was going to see a fatality, however, all of the automobile traffic stopped, and the driver of the cart got out of that situation alive and unharmed. Not sure if she made it home or not. |

This is one of the comments on YouTube regarding this "Magic Roundabout"......... @malcolmabram2957I 2 years ago (edited) "I encountered this once, just the once in the 80s. Did not understand the weird sign, had to do a 'third exit,' so none the wiser, drove on and went round the inside lane to meet an oncoming car. Both of us stopped. I was hopelessly confused and went round the outside carefully until I got the exit to the M1. I heard the person who designed this got an award. I would have charged him with manslaughter." |
