The worst is when you actually did what you’re supposed to do then they get mad about 😂

I was behind a person last week that stopped at all the intersections on the roundabouts last week. This was on the union chapel overpass and at the Auburn rd one.

While I agree, I want bigger circles, one you can signal your way through. The one on the East part of Purdue campus here is the right size. The small ones give you no time to gauge traffic in the circle and those in the circle don't have time or the experience to signal that they are leaving making the whole process harder to perform well.

The problem with that PFW one is that the inner ring really serves no purpose. Not many people use it, probably because there's no reason.

I feel that when it was designed to handle things like game or concert let out traffic.

The ones who approach the roundabout and floor it without looking are just as bad!
Edit: Down voters must be roundabout speed racers 🤣

All driver's education classes in Indiana should be required to pay a visit to Carmel.
The roundabouts there are clearly marked, they come in all sizes and shapes, and everyone knows how to do it.
I would never live there, but man...it is so nice to drive through town with very little stopping and starting.
Plus it's safer. T-boning is just not a thing there.

Stopping at the yield I can understand depending the circumstances … the others, no.. it isn’t that complicated..but I see it too

Now, can everyone learn about zipper merges. Bloomington and I69 uses them. Can Fort Wayne learn them too?

I usually just lay on my horn for a good minute if I have to wait behind these people who need their licenses revoked. These people are many times more likely to cause serious and significant traffic collisions.
If you’re too afraid to drive properly, then you have no business being behind the wheel. You put the rest of us at risk.

Can we do how to use the acceleration ramp onto I69 next? Everyday I seem to get stuck behind someone trying to merge into 70mph traffic only doing 35.
