It's a hazard to the unsuspecting motorist. Austin ave. is too small for them.
I love this comment in that article.Your roads are huge most of our roads the cars are passing just feet away from each other.
That looks to be the size of a two lane roundabout over here.
We seem to have far to many roundabouts there on almost every junction..
What do you think of this bad boy near me.

Left is right. ??? :P
Do Yanks have roundabouts you all look a bit lost when I'm in Mildenhall or Lakenheath. ;D
Not sure about Texans, but here in Nebraska roundabouts are working out excellently  ;)
Unless Clark Griswald is on vacation here in Nebraska....but wait..... NOBODY comes to Nebraska to vacation!! LOL

Mines definitely not built for cross country cruises but that doesn't stop me from taking it out on long rides.  Here's some pics of me trying to be cool in the middle of nowhere in the northwoods of Wisconsin last summer

I just travelled 700km from Reykjavik to Seyðisfjörður, in Iceland. Took the boat at Seyðisfjörður and then 150km in Denmark. Iceland this time of the year was a bit cold, around 5C, but it was fun. Here is one photo, with the town Seyðisfjörður below.

That's a nice shot Druzli.  I'd like to see more.  Sorry about modifying your photo, but I couldn't resist.
