There is one in Addison where all the restaurants are with residence condominiums over them on Addison Circle.

Remember this?

Good toon, Just keep making u-turns
There is one in Waco. I was trying to get to that landmark restaurant that has been there for years and got sucked into the traffic circle. Now I hear Chippie and Jo-Jo have bought that restaurant (I think it was closed) and have re-positioned it as a new place. Originally Posted by unit12

I personally really dislike roundabouts /traffic circles! It usually takes at least 3 laps before I decide which road to turn left onto... Originally Posted by 200K

You basically have to make a right, then a U-Turn. In order to make a Left.

It used to be just straight left turn and right turn.

They they put the Michigan Left Turn in, which took a year to do, while in the meantime the construction mess tied up the intersection which is always very busy during morning and afternoon rush hour causing it to back up north and south and east and west for miles and miles.

After they put it in, I don't remember how much time passed, the city of Plano decided that it was not good for the flow of traffic and they created another construction mess which caused traffic backups for months, just to put it back the way it was.

IDIOT city planners and I bet the road construction company made a ton of $!

Anyway, this is how roundabouts is supposed to work in countries where traffic keeps to the right:



They do not use traffic lights and work on the notion that incoming traffic must give way to vehicles already on the roundabout itself.

This is Texas.

No one gives way to anyone.

I was exiting 635 the other night trying to merge all the way to the right lane so I can make a right turn at the upcoming intersection:

the vehicles in the 3 lanes on the service road are supposed to yield to exiting traffic and of course, not only did they not do so, they sped up and cut me off!!!

One almost side swiped the passenger side of my vehicle and another one held down his horn and flashed his headlights at me - all of them trying to pass me by so they can make the green light ahead.
