Of course, they also drive on the wrong side of the road over there (from our perspective). <br /><br />So at the first traffic circle, I was completely confused, went around several times and couldn't figure out how to get off the thing, eventually winding up on the island in the middle, at right angles to the traffic. <br /><br />Had to wait quite a while for a large enough gap in the traffic flow to allow me to back out onto the road. We still laugh about it, but it wasn't funny at the time.Doug Jamiesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352075007626093585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-92122665600277600162013-02-01T07:34:58.393-07:002013-02-01T07:34:58.393-07:00Traffic circles are EVIL.Traffic circles are EVIL.Blueberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357299403457746440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-90445130852364990072013-02-01T01:17:52.645-07:002013-02-01T01:17:52.645-07:00Ugh...

In one job, I worked in a town where the traffic circle was designed backwards...literally, so people driving through it had to stop every few feet.<br /><br />In fact, the entire population was kind of like that.
