      Unless you see someone making these they could be UFO landing sites.

    Hah! Around here, they are finally beginning to add traffic circles. They make good sense in lots of situations.

      After a month driving around Ireland, I came to really like traffic circles. They do make sense and keep traffic moving.

    I am with Jack and you that in most cases they really make sense. Especially in Europe I think where everything is much more crowded: too many cars in relation to the available space.

    But really - sometimes I have to smile. Traffic circle were a kind of a craze ... every small town and village got one. No, not only one, but two, and three ... with approx. a traffic amount of five cars per hour .

      But they do change the kinds of traffic accidents that occur at intersections. And they provide a place for a civic garden in the center.

      regarding accidents this is our most famous circle --- drivers get distracted by the red frogs sitting there and wham! they are inside the circle.

      I hope the googlemap link works.
