I Hate Roundabouts, But...

[Sylvain]

For the guy on the orange path. He switches from his left turn signal to his right turn signal just before he switches lanes. A car moves about 29 feet per second at 20 mph and about 37 feet per second at 25 mph so he MIGHT show one flash before he is off the whole roundabout. Who is supposed to benefit from that signal? That is if somebody felt like trusting a turn signal to begin with.

The guy waiting to enter the roundabout will see the signal, it's usually more than one flash, and know it's safe to enter.

Looks like the figure 8 races at the Kitley Speedrome here.

Figure 8s is what I was thinking too. They need some benches for people to sit and watch.

Figure 8 racing with cars AND trains would be pretty freaking awesome!

Once you mastered a regular multi-lane roundabout you can try the next level, roundabout wit dual tram crossing.

When you're inside you have to pay attention to cars and trams entering from the right, but also trams coming from the left.

If I am reading that right, only the left lane is a roundabout lane. The right three lanes are for traffic going straight. Plus there are stop lights, so it isn't really much of a roundabout. You would definitely not want to stop on the tracks though.

That is crazy. In reality it is four tram crossings, and it looks like they all stop just before entering the RAB.

I see traffic signals. That's an intersection designed by someone who doesn't like 90 degree angles (that pi/2 for you people who like real numbers).

They are not showing the coal trains going through there.

Just think of it as an obstacle course and it will all be more fun.

I didn't see the lights at first.
Hopefully people waiting at the red light know they are not supposed to stop on the tram tracks.

Accidents happen often and usually the tram wins.

I like playing Frogger.

Yess! That does look like a good Frogger level.

Crossing them on foot is very much so a game of frogger!

One of my work colleagues was in Ireland. Now keep in mind their RAB are much wider and longer than in the States. They do 40 45 MPH going through their RAB's.

Especially with the average size of cars over there.

We have idiots here that don't understand they're not supposed to stop on the tracks.
