Round - A - Bout

[Tauni]

The is one in the Elko/New Prague area. I love going down there late at night when there are no cars and just flying around it!

Here's an image I found from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundabout.

Hopefully that gives you an understanding of it. I actually didn't know what it was at first and had to do some research. I think that should be right.

It is by far the best way of controlling mildy busy intersections. And there is no doubt who is at fault any time there is an accident in one (which is very rare due to their design). Whoever enters the circle first has the right of way. Not to mention you are never going head to head with another car at the intersection. Only problem is no one seems to know how to use their signals in them. They are all over in Norway as well. Used to drive through them there too.

Tauni, I know exactly which one you are talking about. I drive through it everyday to work. On the bike is the best though. You lay down so far you can almost lick the pavement!!

If you go to Tamarac village in Woodbury there is one in the mall, its pretty fun, its much wider because there are stores in the middle of it but could make for some great drifting movies

They are all over in FL, where I'm from. I've seen them since I could have my eyes open. People were used to them down there, and it really did keep traffic going. During my high school years, my friends and I would get like 5 cars out there and keep going around and around. We kept traffic from going through. lol At nights we would make a left turn, and drive the opposite way. Just stupid young stuff to do with round abouts.

Yea, I drove on a few in the UK, pretty fun. That wikipedia animation explains it pretty well, although it's kind of mindboggling if you stare at it for a while!
