Hi all, In the discussion of multi-lane traffic circles, there are a few things I haven't seen mentioned, and each of them makes a multi-lane traffic circle...

Hi Avery. ... What you are describing seems to be contrary to the prevailing definition of "roundabout". I think it would more properly be called a rotary....
A roundabout is logically similar to a straight section of one way road with four right side intersections that has been bent into a circle. I navigate a...
I have created a new email list to discuss the practice of "bicycling driving" - using a bicycle as a driver on roadways - and all related issues. This list...
We all ought to recognize by now that the popular American view of cycling and of bicycle transportation is utterly wrong. I wrote decades ago that whatever...
Did anyone else notice these prize-winning quotes on the first page? "I've always received complaints," said Philadelphia Capt. Dennis Wilson of the Ninth...
Well, I can't figure out why the wrong way cyclist who admits he killed the pedestrian wasn't charged with something. I mean, imagine if it was a car speeding...
Bike lanes ARE education - on that much I can agree with your local coalition - but they teach the exact opposite of what should be taught. John Franklin in...

I agree with Darryl. In my traveling in England, both by bicycle and by car, I found the destination signing of roundabouts particularly good. As one...
In Keene, NH there is an excellent example of a multiple lane roundabout. The outer lane and entry lanes are clearly marked for right-turn only. Those...
This is in response to Alan Forkosh's query as to whether multilane roundabouts are marked so as to direct users to a particular lane according to a particular...

Those of you who interpreted my question as being vehicle-independent are correct. I was not thinking about anything specific to bicycles. Of course, it is...
My understanding (informed by Wikipedia) is that roundabouts and rotaries are very specific and distinct types of what can generally be called traffic circles....
Well, the merges are not true merges of two flows with equal right of way since those merging in from the outside must yield to those already inside. But,...
... That's pretty good, but each T intersection has a slow speed diverge and a merge. It is these sequential diverge/merge locations that make a roundabout...
Here is an example with partial markings of the type you referred to: http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=39.41791904166272~-76.62905260424128&lvl=19&sty=a ...
“Evaluation of Wide Curb Lanes as Shared Lane Bicycle Facilities” is a 1985 report that is often cited in more recent bicycling research, so it deserves...
Think of the roundabout as a long, tight, infinitely long curved road, with several (usually four) 3-way outside-only "T" intersections, rather than as one...
I read Mr Damon's comments as referring to the characteristic of roundabouts and the vehicles using them, not just to bicycles. The problem of lane changing in...
I feel completely confident in my lane-changing skill, which I exercise regularly. But it seems like there is something more involved: crossing transversely...
Well, if you don't have the skill of changing lanes, it will be risky. Learn how, and you'll be OK. Eli Damon wrote: Would one of you please explain to me why...
Not speaking, just commenting. Our local mtb club, well actually it's the largest in the nation, I believe, (www.dorba2.com) has a commuter section on their...
Would one of you please explain to me why the concept of a multi-lane roundabout is not totally crazy? I have never actually seen one in real life and have...
