Watching traffic here at our new RB's is quite entertaining. Traffic can be backed up for longer now as people wait to see what a Yield is  |
Roundabouts are the new wave of attempting "traffic calming" and in the overwhelming majority of cases, they don't work. Motor vehicle crash numbers will drop but the wait time and queuing of vehicles at any given roundabout goes up significantly. A point of interest....they are a bear to perform snow removal on. Is there snow in NH???
If it looks like a rotary, acts like a rotary, and smells like a rotary....it's a ROTARY.
