    Were this a 2 lane roundabout, car d would be changing lanes to bypass car c, nearly striking that pedestrian

      Pedestrian crossing without traffic lights at a 2 lane roundabout entry? That’s just murderous design.

        Try a 3 lane roundabout entry. I cross that shit twice a day on my commute to work every fucking day. Other options are very far out of the way as to make them non-viable.

        I always wave on traffic so that I may cross when it is safe. Sometimes, a car stops to let me through, and refuses to move. I won’t go, because I can’t see the other two lanes past the car that is stopped. Four times in the past year, that car was rear ended by a massive fuckoff truck. For whatever reason, they get pissed off at me, not the guy that rear ended them.

        Traffic lights on a roundabout kinda defeats the purpose doesn’t it? might as well signalize the intersection

      It took me three attempts to parse

      We’re this a 2 lane roundabout,

      Your mistake is even harder to type than the correct ‘Were’!
