I passionately hate round-abouts. I think it's because 1 one they installed in Los Alamos is just to confusing for these over educated PhD's up here. It's called Left-of-way. If someone is to your left at the circle, they go first...

4 cars can enter a traffic circle at the same time
Multiple cars can occupy the circle at the same time
You don't have to go 2 mph around the circle!

Ugh! I've had to smack my brakes good before because some jackass decided to yield to the right, thusly stopping the traffic flow and causing mass confusion.

I typically try to spy on the Crosswalk hand. The blinking hand means ya got a while, a solid hand (in Los Alamos, at out 8 stoplights) means it's going to change soon. Never fails in this wee'lil town.
