There is nothing in Santa Fe or Albuquerque that I have seen as confusing as this Taos roundabout. Of course, if people put on their turn signals when they are going to turn, and did not put on their turn signals when they are not going to turn, it would make driving in this death trap a little safer.
If you can read a sign you should be able to negotiate the roundabouts. The signs explain it all! I suppose these are the same folks that think driving in Santa Fe and Albuquerque is too confusing so they just stay in Taos...
This round about in Taos was totally unnecessary! Nobody knows what they are doing on it. It was an absurd waste of money.
Having driven on it a few times, and seen how confused the drivers are (and for good reason I must add), I will never use it again. I know the back roads to take to avoid it; and that is what I do now.
I have no problem with round abouts other than they are not covered in the driver education program that most people have experienced. Since this is a public safety issue - round abouts should not have been put in place until the public was trained to use them correctly. I've seen people treat them as a 4 way stop, and even go left through them... How this can be done without re-issuing a drivers test to everyone I don't know - but training is required.
I like the roundabouts. I wish that everyone in Taos would watch this video and/or attend the class. I've had experience with roundabouts in the Boston area and pretty much know how to use them. 5 stars!
