I just found a roundabout in the US.

Pippen · December 18, 2015, 09:33:25 PM

And went through it...

THE FUCK???
Why do we have one of these? America doesn't need these damn roundabouts!

The funniest part was that the street was completely deserted, as if everyone is avoiding the roundabout...I will be one of those people now.

There's some in Jersey... and one that I'll hit on the way to Gettysburg. They're weird.

Coco · December 18, 2015, 09:36:11 PM

I lived in an apartment looking over one. They're seriously not difficult or complicated, but everyone seems to be completely dumbstruck by them.

The objectively correct term is "rotary", btw.

Dopameme · December 18, 2015, 09:36:52 PM

they're all over the place here in the Boston area, kinda weird tbh

R o c k e t · December 18, 2015, 09:38:09 PM

There are several in a shopping complex on the beach.

Also, a tiny random one on a side street near the middle of town.

Casper · December 18, 2015, 09:43:11 PM

There's a small one by my skool, and a weird one up in Wilks Barre.

They recently installed one in the city I'm in. There were about four accidents the first day, and a shit ton of people drove around it the wrong way.

Ther'es actually only about 3,000 in the nation... my state only has about two dozen or so across it's whole area... and PA just 4000 square miles smaller than England.

Kiwicake · December 18, 2015, 10:15:14 PM

Roundabouts are great, they're everywhere here

cant believe you guys barely have them

The number is closer to 5000.

As someone that drives a lot they're common to me.

5000 is still pretty uncommon for such a large nation.
There is around 25k in the UK and 35k in France, now that is common.

That's an average of 100 per state.

That's not common.

I wasnt aware this was weird to Americans.

It's very odd since there isn't nearly as many here, just intersections mostly.
Today was the first time I ever went through a Roundabout, luckily my destination was right out the next road so I didn't stay in it for long. That thing is wierd as fuck.

You give me a pretty good reason to visit Europe.

I have heard of Americans stuck in those busy roundabouts just being fucking idiots, you don't need another one.

Almost devoid of them up here. Went around one on Tuesday in Bozeman.
