I love in Washington state and honestly have had next to no problems with people in roundabouts. They're pretty common here and people use them as intended. Wherever you are all from, I hope it gets better lol
Ok, now do one where C and A arrive at the same time to an empty roundabout and A still, to this day, thinks they have the right of way. Because why wait a fraction of a second when I can make others wait for a lot longer?
I hate having classes in a classroom with windows pointing to a roundabout because I get to realize how NO ONE seems to do them correctly... (In Spain, for reference)
Depends on the size of the roundabout. For one big enough they could both join simultaneously and maintain a safe distance, that's fine. If not, if you drive on the left the one on the right has priority and vice versa for the rest of the world.
In fact it's only a problem if people arrive simultaneously at all junctions, since now there's no person to the right of everyone.
In this case usually everyone stops (unless one of the cars is a BMW or audi) and then someone will start to move first. After which normal operational rules are restored.
if you drive on the left the one on the right has priority and vice versa for the rest of the world
Isn't that backwards? US we drive on the right and if 2 people arrive at a stop at the same time you yield to your right, the rules would extrapolate out to the same at a roundabout time, googling and looking at the CA handbook produced squat so the rules might be "fuck it" here, actually
Nope. People are on a roundabout and in the UK you will be going clockwise. So traffic on the roundabout is coming from your right.
I've driven in Italy/Germany and it is the opposite. People are going anti clockwise so you have to give way to your left.
The principle is retained on mini roundabouts where you give way to people on the entrance/exit to your immediate right (or of course traffic already on the roundabout) even though those work most similar to 3/4 way stops.
Stop signs don't need to follow logic of traffic movement direction so you I suppose give priority to the right because being on the right side of the road they are easier to see? I'm not sure where those rules were formulated though.
Circles are awesome, fight me!
I get in and out of those roundabouts as fast as possible
I don't mind the design, I think they're great and save time and reduce traffic congestion
I just don't trust drivers of this generation to use them properly. We are currently in a transition period of generations ... an older generation of drivers that didn't grow up with these and a newer group who will think these roundabouts will be normal. As long as these old timers (including me) are around, these traffic situations will be dangerous.
Which is why, when I get to these roundabouts, I get in as quickly as possible and get out as quickly as I can
I'm always the pink car but get cut off by car A who decides to gun it soon as I'm right where pink car is
Wheres the fighter jet?
Those small green pissing pyramids are blocking the road.
