Circle Gets the Square

The front page story of the Huntsville Times today was that people are confused and alarmed about the first "roundabout" in the Huntsville area. Sue told me that it was also one of the top stories on the local news.

I happen to go though it on my way to work. This morning, someone stopped on the middle of the circle TWICE to let some folks into the roundabout. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE!!!! It's a simple concept. YOU GO AROUND THE CIRCLE! You exit at your street! How hard is this? The people not in the roundabout YIELD. Hence that big red sign at the entrance to the roundabout!

Goddammit, are we turning into England now? What, are we going to start calling trucks "lorries" and "highways" the "motorways?"

Did you know that in Canada, the highway signs do not say "Merge" left or right? They say "Sqeeze":)
