Yeah, a lot of people seem to get confused by it. You should see Michiganders try and navigate a traffic circle, laughable.


The water situation is unfortunate, thankfully I don't live in Flint!

Traffic circles do that to everyone who hasn't seen one.

Every morn on the way to work ... I approach a 90 degree on ramp to the freeway. The street is busy with everyone rushing to get to work. I'll approach the 90 at speed with a little gentle oversteer. The funny part is watching the people following me. They're totally unaware that their car cannot approach that turn with that much speed. I've seen some funny things as they late brake into that turn.
