It would work , granted people look away from their iPhone while driving to notice the signs and arrows. Lol

Looks like a good idea to me.

You can't run roundabouts with 30,000 + per day. These seem like a pretty good solution



[fasharoony]

You know, roundabouts work just fine in Europe, why the heck can't Americans work them ?

[casmatori]

@fasharoony Well there is more traffic in the US, a roundabout would be insufficient as they're only 4 or 6 lanes wide; and most major thoroughfares are usually 10 or 12 lanes wide.

[BPhoenixProductions]

@fasharoony They're becoming more and more frequent over here, actually (a large city park in my area uses them for the majority of its intersections), but only for lesser-used roads. A roundabout just isn't feasible for roads as heavily-used as the interstates, especially when top speeds can near 130 km/h.

[Yabbadabbawhat100]

It looks like a good idea to me.  Put up a few signs to get drivers acclimated, and follow the arrows. It's actually easier to navigate than the traffic circles, which no one ever seems to be able to figure out.

[fixplanes]

yes this is great, lets do it.

[rounder355]

follow the arrows and it is simple. Most drivers don't think anyway.

[LGrahamification]

There are already 2 in America, and they work very well.

[Guitarlover762]

This would never work in America, same with the SPUIs, nobody here knows how to drive and these would just be hell to try to navigate with all the idiots that are on the road

@Guitarlover762

You have no idea how well it works. And this is coming from a city known for having some terrible driving etiquette.

[newsfanatic1000]

Defiantly not a good design

[bestamerica]

'

not good design this freeway

[pavicich]

@bestamerica Says the person who designed the above sentence.

Why is it likely to meet resistance in the U.S.? Because it would actually require drivers to learn, think and stop texting to understand - unfortunately.
