That sounds glorious.
Nothing is more frustrating than coming to an intersection with full line of sight for miles in both directions, where you know there is no car that is close enough to hit you, and having to come to a full stop anyway.[1]
In my part of the US we have a lot of rotaries (round abouts). Thousands of cars go through them every day, no stopping and no accidents... it can be done.
[1] This is of course hyperbole. There are much more frustrating things.
Edit: In fact I thought of something better. Waiting 10 minutes at a red light when there is no one else on the road.
- dfox 9y agoIn europe most of intersections that would be all-way stop in US either do not have any signage or signage to remind drivers of the rules of non-prioritized intersection ("warning, yield to the right"). Small roundabouts were to large extent specific to UK, until various european local authorities found out that building roundabouts is good way to meet their EU grant quotas.
