Default Cornering with care! (photo of idiot)

For God,s sake, take your time when taking junctions or round-a-bouts.
This idiot was fully freighted but luckily the fire crews got him out virtually unscathed.

Roundabouts...

Off the initial post subject, but a roundabout in Europe isn't a bad thing.

However, imagine the town you live in here in the states constructing a roundabout to deal with 3-direction traffic. And it's very small...one lane...very tight circle...a truck (say a moving van) would be **** out of luck if he came to it. Accidents are common place since it's a yield in and yield out.

Absolutely the dumbest thing you will find in Coralville, IA. The city planners were on drugs when they hatched that hair-brained idea.

Bad, right?

Now imagine these same stupid morons putting ANOTHER one in...a 4 directional coming out of a new shopping center...TIGHTER circle...1 lane...RIGHT in the middle of an even BUSIER road. What...we ran out of stoplights?!?

I swear, absolutely moronic stupidity should get people the firing squad. I'm going to sit in a lawn chair the day it opens and take pictures of all the accidents. :shock:

i always loved the ones in the center of a small city that they contsruct a massive concrete inclosure fill it in with dirt and plant a tree and expect a 53ft trailer and truck to make it around it with cars also parked on the both sides of the 1 lane .
