Stop Sign Controlled Roudabout in Shopping Center Parking Lot

[Brian556]

Clermont, FL.

Also note the small central island diameter, lack of splitter islands, and that the entries do not bend to the right.

That's nothing.  There's a shitload like that on streets in Chicago, and even one here in Joliet.

Looks more like painted pavement than a truck apron...

A close up look shows the concrete and the brick apron.  And because it's still narrow for trucks, you can see all the black from tires rubbing against the curb!  https://goo.gl/maps/i6wCh

I wonder how many people really stop for the stop sign?

Is it raised?  Looks pretty flat in that link.

It reminds me of the one in Gordonsville, which isn't quite a proper roundabout but is fairly close for an older design.* I always want to run the stop sign here if there's no traffic coming through in the other directions:

(Bonus: If you click back just over a block behind the camera location, then rotate back around to face north, you'll find a sine salad with cutouts.)


*Edited to add: VDOT says the Gordonsville roundabout opened in 1940! (They do include it on their list of roundabouts in Virginia.)

At most, it's sloped for drainage, but that's about it. FWIW, it doesn't have to be raised in order to be considered a truck apron - just delineated somehow (contrasting pavement, curb line, paint, edge line, or some combination of those).

I don't even slow down unless to yield. If I see stop signs on a roundabout, I figure its private roads and technically unenforceable.

That's nothing. I think every circle/roundabout inside Buffalo's city limits has at least one stop sign-controlled approach. Most (such as the one I linked to) have one at every approach.

Same for me. Granted, there are only a handful of traffic circles in my area, and the majority don't have any signs (the remaining are mostly signed with yield signs, occasionally a stop sign). Modern roundabouts always have yield signs around here, but if one were to not, I certainly wouldn't come to a stop.
