F. The more fundamental problem is that these are all cars, not bikes. Fuck cars.
I love how the meme assumes everyone trusts everyone else's driving. Utopian ideals, man.
My mom taught me to never trust a turn signal (or lack of one)
You not following the rules because you assume everyone else isn't following the rules is why no one is following the rules...
AmeriKan drivers and traffic circles equates to an inefficient cluster fuck. When departing the circle, use your damn turn signal so I can enter!!!
Circles are awesome, fight me!
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
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
