As the circle enlarges, the system approaches four T-intersections. What I want to know is: at what size circle do people lose their minds and become unable to comprehend how T-intersections work.
Fair play to people confused about multi-lane roundabouts though.
At small roundabouts it can be tricky to figure out when it's your turn to go, if you're not used to doing it.
On a small busy roundabout for example, you're often waiting for a car to take the exit you're entering from. You bounce out into the traffic and kinda take the open spot they left on the roundabout.
On the roundabouts here it's not uncommon to wait for 30s or so, and then have less than 1s to identify your window and go.
Usually with T intersections you have more time to see your window coming.
Roundabouts can be fairly intense at first.
