Re: If you ever rolled thru a stop sign you should read this...


I think the problem with rotaries here is a lack of understanding about how to drive in them. Its ok to miss your exit...and if you're on a bike its encouraged several times until your knee slider wears out or you get too dizzy. This extends to anoither problem we have with drivers causing traffic jams. Everyone is so in a hurry to "get to the front" that they usually cause a back. Take a road that goes from 3 lanes to 2. if traffic is going a bit slow, you can bet there will be a line of cars in the soon to be ending lane trying to force their way to the front. What does that do? Cause a bottle neck and make things worse. These smaller events eventually lead to all traffic being stopped on the highway. The long and the short of it is a bit of common sense, and probably some better designed road systems leave a lot to be improved upon here for traffic.
