The city replaced a 4 way stop with a traffic circle and ever since there’s been a car-totaling collision at least every other month. One leg of the circle is fed from a highway off-ramp, with a good portion of folks entering the circle at 150% of the legal limit. Another leg is from a 4 lane road that feeds the highway on-ramp, and those folks are getting amped for highway driving. I’m always nervous in the circle as I can’t count the times I’ve had to quickly brake to avoid being t-boned by some moron who doesn’t understand what a yield sign means.

Traffic circles really need a critical mass of drivers that know how to use them academically before they get installed all over town.
