Back – with a roundabout
I’ve returned, and I bring you tidings of Mythbusters. This time, the guys are testing whether the traditional American four way stop is more or less efficient than the roundabout.
The results matched with what I’d have imagined, but one thing that I’d like to have seen thrown into the mix (because what’s a Mythbusters test without fan suggestions) would be pedestrians. Does the higher percentage of foot traffic along European roads change the usefulness of the roundabout? I have a feeling it gets even more efficient, but that’s just a wild guess…
