Maybe someone knows the answer.

Local funding vs Federal funding?

 

thats cause Chy Na is the ones building bridges

 

I think they got the idea from Mexico.

We're building a lot of stupid roads and intersections that came from the south.

 

Ah.... Abomination!! What a great, descriptive word. Thank you sir, I despise these things too..

Cant remember the exit, but I popped into a TA in North GA off I75 that had some shiny new roundabouts. Under sized as well. Used every inch of it available & still my spread climbed the inside curb..

In my neck of the woods, the 3 exits to the south of the home 20 just got cloverleaf's put in. What a waste of money they are too. That's FL i75 exits 220, 217, & 213..

 

I heard once they were to keep the semi's out.

Don't know how true that was. But I don't think it's working.

 

It's for our "safety"....
The theory is there may be more accidents because of the confusion about round-about-right-of-way, but the accidents will be less severe compared to stop sign, or stop light violation types of accidents.
I know....I know.....safety engineers and their "theories".

 

It's a foreign thing, and you know how much people think we should be like Europe or Asia or wherever that idea came from. They're all over the place in Kansas out in the middle of nowhere, not even in towns necessarily.

 

They are cheaper to put down as they don't need lights or 4+way stop sighns. In don't mind them.

What's not to like in a big truck when there is a good sign instead of a stop sign?

Not that they are the cat's meow. Someone people still think it's ok to pass a truck in a roundabout.

Big trucks should usually take the left lane in a dual lane roundabout as they have an apron in the middle to drag the trailer over eliminating the need to send wide into the other lane to negotiate the roundabout. And even if youndid swing wide in a roundabout it isn't legal to pass in a roundabout so they shouldn't be in the blind spot anyway. Well, I know that's not how things are going to happen in the real world.

Just take the left/inside lane.
