Be a very, defensive driver.

The round-a-bouts design allows the continue and even flow of traffic and are far superior to 4 corner intersection and safer. Those have problems are either new to the area, not paying attention or timid drivers. These same driver would have problems in bigger cities with on/off ramps metered ramps etc.

Someone please post the signs that show how to navigate the roundabout so we can look at them again. The ones that are just prior to all roundabouts. With the arrows and where you should enter in order to exit right, straight or left.

I didn't know you posted a video, dearie??? I have no problem with "experts knowing better" regarding the circles. What I do have a problem with is their size here in TV and the amount of traffic they need to control. They are simply too small in diameter.

In addition, I'm sure you've noticed because you are so very aware, but the signs posted before entering the circles, belie the painted lines within the circles.

By the way, I don't have a Dodge and never had one.

What's the speed limit on a roundabout? I need to know so I can set my cruise-control.

Those who have trouble with the roundabouts should probably turn in their license. It's not that complicated.

I guess that means everyone will have to sell their car and buy a bicycle, in-line skates or a Segway!

Unfortunately MANY drivers in TV are new to the area, inattentive, timid, old, poor eyesight, etc. That's why they are living in a retirement community and not driving in bigger cities.

If you read the many previous threads on roundabouts, even posters that have driven the roundabouts for years don't agree on "the rules". But if we all drive defensively, assuming other drivers may cut us off without warning, we'll do OK.

You're probably a roundabout veteran. I'm sure they don't feel that simple to those who have never (or rarely ever) driven roundabouts before.

20 MPH.... and you will have trouble setting your CC to that.

Just kidding, I don't have cruise control on my car. I like to go around slowly which is usually not a problem in the summer months. When the traffic gets heavier, the problem is that other cars often try to pass me on my right, as though they are in a hurry.
