No one who complains about "roundabouts" has ever driven in New Jersey with our circles. I must say the Irish and English are much more polite and always give the right of way to the person already IN the roundabout--unlike Jersey where we just barge on in. That took some getting used to and I got honked at a couple times before I caught on that they actually followed a code of courtesy over there. :) Joan PS: Jersey phased out of is phasing out most of our really "white knuckle" circles these days but Jersey drivers are pros when it comes to navigating circles and figuring out which drivers are going to yield the right of way and which ones are not.

It's not the traffic circles, it's the drivers.
