Mama told me not to come.

She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.

  • Yeah, US infrastructure is pretty crappy, I live here too. Traffic circles, when they exist, are poorly implemented and in stupid places.

    One super annoying one is about 100ft from a traffic light, and the traffic always gets backed up into the circle. If that intersection was also a traffic circle it wouldn’t be an issue. But it’s right next to two high traffic stores (Walmart and Home Depot), and is the best way to get to several others, so it’s always stuck.

    The rest are really far from traffic, so there’s not enough traffic to actually get much benefit. Yet people still screw them up.

    We really need to double down and put traffic circles in important areas so people learn to use them. Instead, we hide them away and put them in stupid spots.
