@ryan@hachyderm.io Not an "Urban Planning" person, but I can tell ya, having driven in France and Italy several times, roundabouts are the answer. Problem with putting them in 'Murica is people here are too arrogant, entitled and/or stupid to know how to use them.
Never had a problem with Italian drivers, even driving thru Palermo, Sicily on my way to an AirBNB on the coast. It is complete chaos, but the drivers there do it every day so they are very good at it.
People here can't even park their Escalade.

@Av8rdan@squawk.mytransponder.com @ryan@hachyderm.io I cringe every time I go through the roundabout in Springfield. Brace for impact and hope for the best.

@Av8rdan@squawk.mytransponder.com @ryan@hachyderm.io we’re starting to see more roundabouts in the Hudson Valley and I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how many people seem to grok them. I’d say more understand roundabouts than know what to do at a 4 way stop (or what ‘yield’ means). Two lane ones are a bit of a different story…

@Av8rdan@squawk.mytransponder.com Roundabouts are like a war zone if you are on foot or cycling. Should not be allowed in urban areas! @ryan@hachyderm.io
