That’s not actually true. It’s entirely possible for them to have the same footprint.
- unselect5917 7mo agoNitpicking: roundabouts that small may be entirely impassible to truck hauling a standard trailer. Personally, I think we could replace a LOT of stoplights with roundabouts. Way better throughput and faster travel for everyone.
