I like how they made two new roads and tore them up then redid every existing road twice. Instead of just shutting down the intersection and doing it that way. Would have been far cheaper and faster.
yes, but the amount of havoc that would cause elsewhere was probably not worth it- some intersections are too critical to be able to close down longer than a weekend
In my province we have a few of these turbo roundabouts and at first they were uncomfortable to drive but quickly the locals catch on. In the summer you expect to find some slow confused drivers (mostly Americans imo) but you simply accomodate and maybe honk at them. My serious critique is the missing island on the bottom 3 lane.
I’m from Belgium and when I just got my license, first thing I did was drive to NL, they have these turbo’s everywhere (makes sense since it was invented there) but it freaked me out the first time as well 😂
How did the designer manage to ruin the simplicity of the design of a roundabout ? And why would they make entering lanes tangent to the circle thus making the design very much a design communicating yielding. Are they under the impression that because there is written "yield" that it will magically make people disregard the fact that the road is clearly made to keep the speed of entering cars ?
So it is diffuclt to make out from the camera angle, but there are traffic lights. In the USA, generally that would make it a traffic circle, not a roundabout.
in the US we yield to all those in the roundabout. When it's safe to enter you enter, when it's not safe you don't. It's not that hard. This roundabout is a traffic improvement over the lighted intersection that was previously present. Additionally, because it's a yield, if you are approaching at speed and it is already safe to enter; you enter. You don't need to slow down. It's not like each entrance has a stop sign. You only yield when it is not safe for you to enter
This is a problem with North American roundabouts, the lanes already point into the direction of the counter-wise flow of traffic which also makes it harder to see oncoming traffic on your left. The Netherlands has the best roundabouts so i suggest you take a look at those.
@@lEGOBOT2565 nope. Visited plenty of countries and roundabouts like these are really safe for pedestrians, US road design just sucks. i.ytimg.com/vi/FR5l48_h5Eo/maxresdefault.jpg
Someone had too much fun with the intersection marking tool mod

@@pizzaivlifethat’s what happens when driving is the only mode of transportation being invested into.
@@miles5600 Yeah they'll build the same road three times but deem it too expensive for any form of good bike infrastructure
@@Sporgan yup exactly
Just one more lane bro, just one more lane, it'll fix traffic, just one more lane bro
same number of lanes?
@@pizzaivlifeno?
Show us a timelapse of it being used please 🙏 to see if it works or not

Oh... that's a turbo roundabout
Except this has awful pedestrian crossings.
cant even make a normal circle. the very basics of a roundabout.
It’s called a turbo roundabout.
It's round about like a roundabout.
@miles5600 this is nothing like a Turbo Roundabout. We have them everywhere and this aint it
@@MisterMotel so what is a turbo roundabout like then? I’m Dutch and they were invented here, this is a turbo roundabout.
Turbo roundabout Google it.

I'm equally impressed at how munted this circle is

@@lEGOBOT2565 I don't think that's what he's saying. That's how roundabouts work everywhere.

mess as always by the Americans
No fucking way
Worst design ever - Give us the new 'pedestrian death' counts for those cross walks
Roundabouts are inherently anti-pedestrian as it prioritizes vehicles over pedestrians
Worst part is it the yield line is after the crosswalk instead of before the crosswalk.
@@lEGOBOT2565in the US* not in a lot of other countries.
@@miles5600 no that's just how they are. I've crossed roundabouts in Europe and had the same problem

было норм, стало хуйпоймикакехать
So much wasted money smh.
That has gotta be the ugliest roundabout ive seen yet
