After years of service in Europe and Australia it seems the traffic circle is becoming a part of the American traffic landscape as well. In states like Washington the traffic circle, or round-a-bout, is replacing some 4-way stops and traffic lights. While others are being planned in the construction phase of new roads and neighborhoods. All these new traffic circles mean that more and more Americans must face their fear and dread of this mysterious traffic anomaly.
However, the traffic circle is really less of an anomaly and more about efficiency and convenience. For 26 years I myself lived in a land of 4-way stops signs and traffic lights, but for the last 7 have enjoyed driving in a traffic circle environment. It did not take long for me to appreciate the ease and efficiency of the traffic circle; provided that they are designed for proper flow.
