Having recently moved to America from Australia (specifically Canberra, which is considered the round-about capital), one of the biggest things I miss is round-abouts. They don't stop the flow of traffic like all way stop signs or traffic lights do.
One of the things I really like here though that I wish Australia would adopt is being able to turn right from (almost) any traffic light while it red.
- vacri 12y agoI hope you mean 'left-on-red' for Australia specifically :)
- seanp2k2 12y agoI wonder if that also improves average fuel economy, since there is less stop-and-go with roundabouts vs traffic lights.
- tacticus 12y agoActually the NT did implement the left on red stuff for a short while. Too many idiots was the final judgement. Also roundabouts work great for low volume roads but with roads with significant traffic directions basically lock out the ones they pass.
