Reply to comment by crm115 in People who stop because they’ve missed their turn on a rotary- do you realize it’s a circle? by roadtrip-ne

Don't ever go to Ireland and rent a car at Dublin Airport. The first thing you encounter leaving the airport is a big ass roundabout with traffic lights. You just got off a flight that landed at 5AM, you're in a rental car, sitting in the drivers seat on the wrong side of the car and driving on the wrong side of the road.

I can handle it. Im from there. But I pity the poor average US tourist that has no clue.

I think Ireland invented traffic lights on roundabouts. They are everywhere and they suck.

I remember the first time I was confronted with stoplights at a rotary, it was in Guadalajara, Mexico. I thought to myself that of course you had to put stoplights in there to make them fucking work, since for some reason that state just decided the person merging the rotary had the right of way and that made no fucking sense.
