Maybe someone knows the answer.

As stated, they are cheaper than stop lights and if people understand them then traffic will flow better than a 4 way stop and the chances of a high speed accident are taken way down from an intersection where only one of the roads has to stop. If they are built properly with a large center apron then there is no harm in dragging your trailer up onto the apron, that’s what it’s there for.

 

Those are nice, the ones where they cheap out and put a curb right there, or worse they don't make them wide and you hit the curb in and out, suck.

 

....It's agenda 21....

 

I come in using both lanes. Not the left lane.

You don't want cars trying to sneak in to your curves. By taking both lanes. You block em both and they get the message to stay behind you.

 

If there’s an apron in the middle you should take the inside lane. Because if you’re in the outside and a car comes to the inside and your trailer cuts over then guess what?

But it seems only the newer ones have aprons. And in the older ones I’m with you, I’ll take what I need to stay off the curbs.

 

Out in WA they started putting up signs saying not to drive next to trucks in the round about but big surprise that they go unread most of the times I was driving into one. Lol

 

Your average 4 wheeler driver doesn't know signs mean anything.

 

Probably being done by the deep state

 

Mmmmmm roundabouts pulling a lowboy, relandscaping. They put ugly stupid "art" in the middle of them around here.

 

I disagree. I go through a roundabout literally 22 times a night at work. The best way to go through a multi-lane roundabout is to straddle two lanes like @snowwy stated.

As you enter toss on the 4 ways, straddle the lane and don't let cars around you until you are out. The one I use in front of work every single wreck (with one weird exception) with a truck was because the truck tried to take one lane, and inside or outside have both had wrecks, and a car tried to go around.

The weird exception was a truck driver was stopped at the yield sign, waiting on traffic to clear when an old VW van jumped the apron, bounced off the semi's front smashing the radiator, and hopped on the freeway and got about 3 miles down the road before her van died from also a busted radiator.

 

It’s a European trend (French to be exact). They say motorists save about 40% fuel driving through roundabouts compared to driving through stop sign intersections. Municipalities need more land to build roundabouts compared to building regular intersections though.
