We aren't, we have a shit-ton of them. I'm designing a three-lane one right now for a city. 210-foot inscribed diameter, baby. Awww yissss.

oh lol thought i was browsing int and i was like man this is such a shit board nowadays glad i was in the wrong address. enjoy your cucked liberalposting faggot

pic related is a shitty roundabout design tho

Roundabouts are fine m8. People here just drive like assholes anyway and won't let you merge regardless of rules.

I drive on traffic circles all the time. Nothing scary about it. We just don't have the need for them like you do in Europe because we usually have plenty of space to build. These are necessary in Europe because everything is so compact due to overdevelopment.

Why are Germans so scared of these?

traffic circles ≠ roundabouts

You must live in the northeast. Or in a big city.

This is the first thing that comes to mind for most Americans when you mention a roundabout

Mediumish. We got a metric fuckton of transplants the last couple years and it's been hellish.

>MFW some fag in an A4 almost wrecked into me in the snow yesterday because throttle control lol

Why are euro's so scared of these

One time I went around a circle like 10 times because I couldn't get over to the side to get off. It was really awful.

It's only a problem in high traffic and when other drivers are being shitty. Like nigger i have my blinker on, let me the fuck over. Aggressive driving is lame.

having two pedals to operate cars is bad enough
let alone turning

I don't know.

But roundabouts take up MORE space than junctions.

Also they are safer, have to slow down to go around a roundabout, nothing stopping you speeding through a red light.

It's the antithesis of everything we stand for. Just looking at it makes me uncomfortable, it's the true face of evil.

They had to dumb down everything.They have 4way stops instead.

Im not scared of them, but people tend to stop at them when theirs no one in them. That just pisses me off.

they made one to try it out. they call it Nascar.

because they call it roundabout
>round-a-bout
seriously burgers

>traffic circles

We have many small ones in suburban, low traffic areas, but few really big ones. We got a really big one near me and it's really helped, and most everyone does fine with it. But the other day I did see someone look obviously confused about how to approach it and when to go.

Don't post danny elfman.

You should like this compound word Krautbro

SInce the middle lane is going around the baby-loop-de-doo, where is the lane with my red arrow supposed to go?

...

In Canada (or atleast Hamilton area) we have quite a few traffic circles. They're really only on country roads where it would be inefficient to set up lights, but have too much traffic for stop signs. The issue is that most retards don't know how to use them properly (i.e. which lane exits where), large trucks need to use all of the space to get through them, and they're generally larger than a simple red/yellow/green intersection.

my truck has a foot of clearance so i just drive over them while flipping off the faggy prius driver that voted for this nigger shit and blaring david allen coe.

I dont get the point of them anyway. they seem like an awful waste of space

It's fine if it's one lane. We have one in my city with two lanes and the first time I got on I had no warning

cities: skylines?

Both those lanes go round by the looks of it lad

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Roundabout_(Swindon)#The_roundabout

have a few in my town...but speed limit is 45 leading up to the roundabout so people hit that thing going 50-55

No, a real one, although that game is fun as shit.

Round-abouts are far more efficient than junctions and off ramps, it's not about space or anything it's simply allows a higher flow rate of cars. No need to be scared ameribros

You try getting an American around one of those things without turning over.

kek

Because it saves lives and therefore makes it harder for americans to sue a car producer

There's one in my hometown m8

>hit that thing going 50-55
>almost 90 km/h

I'm currently in Carmel, IN. We have more of those things here than any other city in the US.

Because most of them here can't drive worth a fuck.

But as you can see in that picture, Americans have evolved counterweights that hang either side of the seat to avoid them turning over at speed.

god I hate these fucking eyesores. All you faggots "designing" them need to be shot. Fuck roundajews

nobody cares about ontario you are a scourge to humanity off yourself

It actually has more to do with the flow of traffic than safety.
A junction makes the traffic come to halt very often while a roundabout just distributes it's traffic.

My wife got in a fender bender at one of those, with another woman.

Their reaction? They both cried
>women drivers

so fucking ugly. Engineers should be embarrassed

Really? It's a good way to avoid traffic jams. Last time I heard Americans hate traffic jams.

Because they don't make sense.

Do your parents still live in Oviedo user?

You have to work with what you're given. You usually don't get a chance to realign approaches even if it would help traffic operations.

That being said, the flares between Geneva Drive and the due south approach should be squared off a bit. I also would have narrowed lane widths to get the splitter islands out past the crosswalks.

>Their reaction? They both cried
I once crashed into the driver of a van, smashing his side mirrow and injuring him in the face. We both had a laugh about it and shared some stories while we waited for the police. Got myself a 30 Euro fine.

roundabouts and yields would be more common if everybody didn't drive auto, they don't understand what my poor clutch is put through on a street with 12 different traffic intersections

Retard detected

You get fined for having an accident in Nazi Germany?

We don't have a shortage of land so our infrastructure is based on rapid growth, not sustainability or efficiency.

Most jurisdictions in Weimerica ticket drivers who cause accidents too, home fries.

I got fined because I left my lane. I tried to not run over some asshole walking on the street, moved to the left, the vanbro couldn't move because he was towing a trailer and I hit his mirror.

> forklift_simulator.jpg

Have you seen drivers here? You would be scared too, not of the traffic circle though.

It reminds them of a donut, but they can't eat it.

It's an infinity loop. I saw it on national lampoons European vacation along with how all German woman are sluts.

What Americans really hate are speed-bumps.
They're strictly reserved for car-parks only.

>speed-bumps in the street

so glad i dont live in a nanny state!

...

>drive on wrong side of road
>add in circles of death

Do you know how fucking confusing this shit is?

even captcha knows what's up

Sorry to offend you m8. I'm just a working man trying to make a living while trying my hardest to not get fucked by wynne.
Hamilton is a hard working town with (mostly) good people.

They're so fat they can't stay seated if they drive through that at the same speed Europeans use for it.

So roundabouts are socialist?

lol stupid niggrs, ur nation is the size of a small state to us. and we have tons of those. lol get bent, btw u guys are just sandniggrs+. Enjoy allah dikfagz

>he needs a permit and government issued ID to buy teaspoons

LMAO

Not afraid of them. We just dont fucking need them a good four-way stop will work just fine

Valid question. Id like to hear the answer

They depend on people around you being competent drivers. No one in the US thinks other people in the US can drive well, it's a self-insulting joke that's been shoved down our throats since the 60s so probably from the Frankfurt school. Likely their attempt to get rid of cars and cripple the west's manufacturing and make us all depend on the government for trains or some shit.

Mark my words within your lifetime you will be told cars are bigoted and that you're trying to destroy the planet.

I hate these fucking things with a passion. When I come across one I get sick in the pit of my stomach. I don't know why.

The roundabout is just ... wrong. It runs counter to the burger mindset. We'd rather wait longer at the light than have to navigate the Euro-faggotry of driving around in a circle.

It's in rural area only in Japan.

This one is near me

Problem is that people don't yield and just stop there even if it's open which negates the whole point

Roundabout in my city

>need

We aren't scared of the single lane roundabouts.

It's the two+ lane ones where braindead soccer moms in SUVs illegally cross from the inside lanes to the outside lane and smash into us.

If you really want or need it (security concerns, job, sport shooting)- you can get it. It's more regulated and harder to get but still possible.

There is no gun culture, there is just culture in here ;^)

Also no niggers.

There are 3 of them right next to the University I attend.
