Accident near Traffic Circle

hiker47 · 07-17-2007, 11:01 PM

I have driven roundabouts through out the UK, both small towns and large cities (London) and find them a great way for directing traffic but, people need to know the correct "ettiquette" (simply how to novigate them safely and correctly). Unfortunately, many US drives do not possess this knowledge or skill. The Rt 3 / Parade roundabout is poorly designed and a hazard, irregardless of knowledge or skill. The diameter is too small, especially for large trucks or trailers, and the use of the cobblestone is both contradiction to safety and traffic movement. The idea is great but the design faulty.

Irregardless of fault and location, it is a shame someone died in the accident. May they rest in peace.
