> Absolutely, but you end up in weird situations such as with two-lane roads, car in the right lane stops and waits but its not obvious if the incoming car in the left lane will stop, Where I grew up, if a car is stopped in front of a pedestrian crossing, not stopping next to it gets you a pretty hefty fine. Every few years the police have a big public service announcement campaign about it, then focus on giving fines for it in some of the more risky locations. Roundabouts are better when they are not the multi-lane monsters US tends to build.
