Traffic circles coming to Moraga Avenue
Having lived in Australia for many years where roundabouts are common, I am so glad to see more coming to the US. The fears mentioned in this article are unfounded. Roundabouts work... But... now if only the DMV would train our drivers how to use them. There is nothing in the DMV manual about how to navigate a roundabout. The driving exam should go though one. The drivers here in the US do not signal to exit the roundabout. That is required in Australia and it works. It is common courtesy. It lets others entering the roundabout know that you intend to exit. A common technique to slow down traffic is to put in a round about with slight speed bumps as you enter and exit. It forces traffic to slow down to enter. You get the best of both worlds. So if the locals aren't happy with the speed of traffic after the roundabouts are installed, they can add these entrance speed-bumps later.— January 19, 2018 10:12 a.m.
