<VV> Maps

They just started installing traffic circles here a few years ago but they have quite a few now.  I love them but it does seem like most people like to stop for them which completely defeats the purpose.

One of the things which gets confusing to many people is it seems traffic engineers have new ideas on what makes a good intersection. It takes several years for those new ideas to make their way into common usage and people to start understanding how to use them. The current new ideas in the US are the Diverging Diamond which crosses all traffic over each other before and after an overpass so that turns onto an interstate are not crossing oncoming traffic. The other current fad here (common in much of the rest of the world) is the traffic circle. Unfortunately many that I see are too small.
