Why would traffic in a circle have to yield to traffic coming into it? Isn't that the same as drivers on the highway yielding to traffic coming onto the highway? I know as others have mentioned it is this way in some areas but that has to be ass backwards.
We drive out the new traffic circle on a regular basis and I think it works great.
The problem with the one in Meredith is its so small and tight that you really have no time to use a directional.
