We have a new divergent diamond here, works great. We were promised a round about at another intersection but the planners chickened out and put in a light instead, pissed me off.ETA: The Google maps link is a divergent diamond interchange. They are so much better than the typical diamond, but people fight against them like crazy.
Some of it is a lack of familiarity. But a lot of it is stupidity.Even the simplest of traffic circles here are completely beyond the ability of the simplest of drivers to negotiate. I don't mind the circles, they could improve traffic flow, except for the stupid fucking morons that can't grasp the concept.
That is a nice take on a demolition derby.

Isn't that what most relationships actually are? Sex for a fee? Dude must provide material goods and emotional comfort for the gates to open. Then it fizzles because one or both sides think they are not getting what they think they are worth.
I question your reading comprehension. Pretty sure I worded my statement in such a manner that leaves the door open for some actual loving relationships to form.if your definition of human interaction is purely transactional then...yeah, I guess?
seriously, though, wtf man.
I've known people emigrate to the Netherlands purely for the cycling. If the Dutch were in charge of the whole continent's road-infrastructure I'd be a lot more enthusiastic about being in the EU.
Apart from the cycle infrastructure, I guess Swindon's "magic roundabout" can match thatView attachment 56034
Is it just me... doesn't that look confusing as hell at first glance?
I assume at ground level with good signs it's probably not as confusing.
Is that a bicycle lane going over everything?
Did that involve a Clarkson in some capacity or other?

(I heard you like roundabouts, so I put a roundabout in your roundabout)
PETR does not approve.
I've been through that a few times for the heck of it... It's kind of like Plinko, you just bounce around and come out somewhere, hopefully close to your intended direction.
