Go right and then go around the roundabout.
- solardev 2y agoThey'll sometimes design that pattern in with "dogbone" style roundabouts where there's a median between the two sides of the street, a roundabout at each end, and you HAVE to go one-way down one side and around the roundabout to turn around. It's quite annoying but probably saves lives.
- Zambyte 2y agoYou don't actually need a median either, you can just have an on-ramp and a yield.
- 015a 2y agoSure, fine, let me rephrase my issue in a way which changes literally nothing about it but maybe outlines why its still a problem: I'm sitting at an intersection trying to go left, but with the intention to turn right and 180 around the roundabout; behind someone who also wants to go left but would rather wait for an opening in both directions of traffic. People are idiotic; traffic systems should, ideally, account for and mitigate this idiocy as much as possible. That's why streets with a impassible divider in the middle exist.
- fingerlocks 2y agoAdd another roundabout between the roundabouts. Problem solved!
- Zambyte 2y agoIf a wall isn't convincing enough, you can use an on ramp to make it so you can only go right. I think we can move this ticket to OBE
