We have the same down here (in Australia). Reversed of course as, like our toilet water, everything goes around the other way. We too have the same problem with people suddenly deciding that they must stop instead of merging - much like they do when joining a freeway. All manner of jape and jolly occurs.
@chrisjamieson9674Ай бұрын
Jape and jolly? Is that what we are calling it? My wife is a CALM person - as in 'almost kicked out of the hospital for taking the piss because there is no way you can be in labour while calmly chatting away' calm. Idiots pulling that shit though? That right there is a front row seat to the kind of 'mild irritation' that would see a full-grown bloody cassowary making a straight about U-turn the fuck away. For those that don't know, when people say the chicken is descended from dinosaurs, the cassowary is the bird that missed the bus, skipped several tens of millions of years and decided 'stuff it, full on murder-bird works for me, I'll let the rest of you play with that whole evolution thing, I'm good'. They are the sorts of birds that would bring a tear to the eye of a t-rex.

Man, I understand your frustration. We have one of those lanes here in rural Oregon (believe it or not) and when people FROM AROUND HERE stop it can create quite an ugly mess, including rear-enders that block ALL traffic. And in this heat, tempers will flare and that's where the ugly comes in. Drive safely out there, people, and remember: He who goes forth with a fifth on the Fourth may not come forth on the fifth.

I feel your pain. Here in MA, we have a lot of rotaries aka traffic circles aka round-abouts. They seem to confuse everyone. However, when properly used, they are pretty dang efficient over waiting for a traffic light. Can definitely weed out the non-locals though. They just lose their minds.

The only time I almost rear ended somebody it was at one of these turns right by my parent's home when I was visiting them to help with the holidays or something. That was the same intersection where I pumped gas for the first time the week I obtained my driver's license -- and then pulled out to make a left hand turn and discovered that you need to look for a raised median. In a 1981 Buick Electra station wagon. Trying to turn it around with oncoming traffic. There was a police car in the gas station and looking back now I can recognize that they were being absolutely awesome to me once they realized that I wasn't a drunk idiot, just a earnest young idiot who was literally on his first trip ever driving on his own and refilling the gas tank because that's what dad said to do.

Just so you know, in New Jersey, we have these lanes, and if you don't stop , you're gonna get a ticket. Why? Because there is a stop sign either above or below. I think the people visiting might be in locations that have this older style of intersection. Sorry, you can blame it on the D.O.T. There is even a trucker in Southern New Jersey.That does videos that show these intersections. He uploaded on KZbin all the time and screams at people who don't stop.

As much as I would love to agree with you kimmo sabe', I can't. I live in ABQ, and well, that advice will get you killed. NOT ALL TURNS have a protected lane right around that corner. Let me explain, yes they have the median triangle piece , the lane ends approximately 30ft, yes feet, AFTER THE TURN (on a speed limit road of 45 with people going 50). Expecting someone to let you merge, is a fallacy. Hell - using your turn signal is viewed as a violation of your 4th amendment rights in my state. Must be defensive driving in my state, or "they" WILL take you out.
