My dislike is largely based on the fact that a traffic circle forces essentially all traffic on the left to get to the right and everyone on the right to get to the left in a very short space. Like I said, when the traffic is very light, it works fine, but with anything but light traffic, they are a menace.

US roads, however, are made for "Packing", with timed traffic lights and stop signs causing vehicles to bunch up and form clumps, that are then run through the system together. _______________________________________________ Address messages to [email protected] No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org
