I'm not sure where the roundabout hate comes from. I'd love to see more roundabouts in Illinois. I can think of several locations where they would be beneficial, one in particular in my head where there's already ample space to build one.

Illinois has struck me as one state that was very slow in adding roundabouts to its arsenal of intersection designs.  Maybe the town square in Benton scared them off.

^And Olean, NY. A few years ago now they installed 5 tiny ones on Union Street.

Wow! I hadn't seen that. I guess Olean is the new Malta.

Illinois is very slow to add anything. Roundabouts, FYAs, DDIs, SPUIs, APLs, etc.

The SPUI under I-57 at Marion was built in... what, 2013?  And the DDI immediately north of it shortly thereafter?

We get some new things, but usually in very small doses. And even in reconstructions, the old configuration is put right back. No DDIs or SPUIs on the Tri-State. No D1 FYAs, even on brand-new signals. I can think of only 3 roundabouts near me, only 1 of which is IDOT.

^I wouldn't really say the Robert Moses Parkway divides Niagara Falls though, sort of ran along the edge and mostly doesn't exist in the city anymore.

Here's one for New Haven, CT:

Just the kind of thing that makes me hate life.

Seems a bit wordy...

But, in that vein...

We could make a thread about that one.



Now, a shoutout to all my homies in Lake County.

I used to take this exit on my way home from work. If you zoom out, there are two more as you head west. So yeah, I would drive through five roundabounts in about one and a half miles.  It sounds ridiculous, but honestly they aren't difficult to manage or anything.

It's like WISDOT went gaga over roundabouts when they upgraded US 41 to interstate status. I had to go through this mess just a few miles south of Lineville when visiting my brother. I like roundabouts generally, but I got completely turned around trying to navigate this from NB I-41 to WB CTH RK in the rain after dark (that's six roundabouts in about a half mile). Fortunately, he moved to Albuquerque during the pandemic so I can drive to visit him again and I no longer need to navigate that mess.

Honestly, I'd probably get turned around there without the roundabouts!

I think they have determined that they will no longer do three lane roundabouts due to people getting turned around there.

I saw one on Facebook on Wednesday.  Be sure to read the post-it note.

That evening, I made sure to tell my friend about it at church.  He owns JEO Consulting Group.

That's not how I see at all. A is before the bridge and B is after the bridge the same way that exit numbers do if they are increasing.

[kphoger]

Saw this one come across Facebook the other day.

I guess that one is equivalent to just saying it's best to drive the highest number in whatever category over the speed limit you are going. Like 19 in the 10-20 over or 29 in the 20-30 over, without hitting the next category. But some states include the exact amount over in the fine formula such as $200 + $5 per mph over the limit, so that wouldn't always work.

This might be the only time in history a pedestrian respected traffic laws.
