After growing up in a small town with a “Circle” in its midst with 4 main arteries to handle tourists passing through, I don’t recall any accidents but will give you a minor or two for statistics. No one uses directionals in a Circle. Learn the pattern and obey the law about yielding. And striping? Never seen it anywhere except in Arizona unless 3 lanes or more. Unnecessary and confusing Arizona city engineers.

I’m from Massachusetts where we hold the dubious honor of being the rudest driver’s in America. We also have roundabouts, multi-lane roundabouts but we call them rotaries. I also live in a high tourist area, Cape Cod, and the most infamous rotary is in Hyannis. Nary an accident in years reported there with four, two lane road feeds into the rotary. You do not enter the rotary under 30 miles an hour, forget your directional because you can be guaranteed the car to your right or left wish to go opposite their position.

Now to my point. I was horrified and then duly terrified each time I entered or tried to enter one of your new roundabouts. I was nearly hit twice while in a vehicle and once trying to cross in a crosswalk! Upon reflection after reading your piece in the Sedona Times, I’ve come to the conclusion the problem is not knowing how to use a roundabout, but the speed in which you enter it. Step on the gas and here’s the real secret, pretend you do not see the other vehicle. Works like a charm.

Accident free in rotary littered MA.

I have the same thoughts about common sense when pedestrians just step into the road and i have to jam on the brake, what are the cross walks for? What happened to stop, look both ways and if it is clear start crossing? Anyway love the whole article and the gripe guy said it all
