VIDEO: Puna Traffic Tension Boils Over At Meeting

[terracore]

Am I the only one who played the video and went immediately to the lady at the end?

I have been on roundabouts numerous times. I have never been on 1 or heard of 1 were it puts you right on a highway. Let alone 1 as busy 130 is.
I would be more concerned about an accident at the intersection of the roundabout and 130.

Puna was androgynous ambiguous long before it was cool (if it is cool now). How do you know that is a woman with a beard? Maybe is a somewhat feminine man with a beard? There also tends to be a long tradition of weird beards defining the Punatic fashion scene. South Puna was turned into a 1000 acre circus a long time ago, with the freak show center stage.

Agreed, they are rare in the USA. On the other hand, I've been to Australia several times and they are EVERYWHERE and they seem to manage just fine. I don't doubt there will be plenty of fender-benders at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's safer and no red light to slow you down. Win-win.

With a nod to the mental driving gymnastics routinely performed by our own Tom K., once you've attacked a four-way roundabout combining 10 lanes of traffic CLOCKWISE on the WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD while driving in the PASSENGER'S SEAT...it's all downhill from there.

Terracore: EXACTLY...LOL. If only Clark had hit his turn signal...then the windshield wipers come on, because OF COURSE the turn signal is on the opposite side, too. I'm pretty sure that when Auzzies see a car with its windshield wipers on during a sunny day, they make way... because that Yank is trying to do...something.

I don't know why they didn't design the Pahoa roundabout like this one...
