This topic always puts that Yes tune in my head.

Thanks for splitting this topic, Doug.

'Roundabout' was my of my favorite songs as a kid in the '70s.

Could be a theme song for those Roadster owners who make a daily commute from up over the Santa Cruz mountains to Silicon Valley: "Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley……"

We call those things traffic circles in the states. Many older small towns have them in the center, if they didn't put the courthouse or city hall there. Belleville, IL has a fountain in the center of town.

Savannah, Georgia is famous for them.

When we moved to England in the '60s I already knew about them. The only difference was that the English call them "roundabouts".

I still do a mental double-take when I hear "Zebra Crossings", though.

Durning this whole thread I never thought aboput the big ones at all. To me a different animal.

I grew up near the Orange Circle in Orange CA.

This one has a Park in the Center. A lot of "small town" movies and TV shows film there.

I always thought of this big one as two individual right turns. There is a different driving thought process when they are this big. You can kind of relax for a moment as you get into it. the small ones require the driver to be much more aware.
