On the roundabout

[hotinhawaii]

I know what a roundabout is. I grew up with them in NJ and watched them proliferate in MD. As for the merge issue, I was comparing the confusion about merging with what you call yield on entry. My point was that if drivers can not follow a merge sign, they will probably struggle with yielding also. I know what happens in a roundabout, I have driven through them hundreds of times and am very familiar with people who stop to let incoming cars into the circle nearly causing accidents. I have been behind those people. When they were installed in Baltimore, they did as DavidShaw suggested: a huge public education campaign for the first couple of months. It certainly helped.

I am not set against roundabouts. I am concerned that they will not be engineered well here.
