After driving in Australia for several weeks where there’s almost no traffic lights and it’s almost exclusively traffic circles… I can say that it makes way more sense than our system and it keeps traffic flowing…. plus it prevents the above problems.
Just wanted to make a correction so people don’t think Australia is some kind of backward country. We do have plenty of traffic lights (and combined redlight/speed cameras attached to them) and with cities of 3 million plus people, they are required. That said, we do also have plenty of roundabouts (or is it roundaboots Antoine?) and when I drove a Canadian friend around out here he was amazed that we had a many as we do. Growing up with them they just make sense. Of course there are some dodgy ones with multiple lanes and trams running through the middle, but nothing like the well known ones in Europe.
