I grew up in a town in Australia nicknamed “the city of roundabouts.”
Four way stops simply don’t exist.
When well designed, roundabouts are excellent for traffic flow and reducing accidents and severity of accidents.
If I was king for a day I’d replace all four way stops with them.
- strken 4mo agoI don't think Australia has many true four way stops in cities and towns. Usually there's a give way sign on two of the directions, or lights, or a roundabout. Unmarked intersections do exist, mostly on bush tracks and backroads, but I don't think I've ever seen the four stop sign arrangement here in Vic. Apparently it's slightly more common in NSW.
- testing22321 4mo agoAs far as I’m aware they are nonexistent. I’ve driven a lot of the country and never seen one.
