We’ve got a couple here in Michigan.... home of the “Michigan Left”
They’re fairly new, I understand. There are some on the MSU campus, that have been there for ages though. My sister, the better traveled, says they’re more common on the east coast.
Get ready for “roundabouts” in the USA. Right. Nashville already has one or two. Anywhere else?
Clovis NM. Corner(?) of Norris and Llano Estacado. Bleedin’ ‘ell, WTF ails these moonbats?
Wisconsin… Got already 2 in the metro Milwaukee area, I know there are more in the plans and built elsewhere in the state.

Have driven roundabouts all my life growing up in Rhode Island. There are several in Massachusetts north of Boston & one on the MA-N.H. border. There are probably more that I am unaware of. We always called them “circles”. Here in St. Louis, a 5 mile stretch of Highway 64/40 just reopened after a year’s construction & they put 2 circles (oh, sorry, roundabouts
) on one of the exits & I bet most people here won’t know the proper way of driving through them.

Athens, Alabama just got our first roundabout!!! Small little town. We’ve got a college, but, mostly we’re a bedroom community for Huntsville. We also still have a few farmers around. Their comment runs something like this..."Damnedest thing I’ve ever seen. How we gonna get a tractor and haybailer around that little circle?"The city counsel had a center island constructed of sufficient height and thickness so that a tractor can not drive directly across. Even here in small town America, the lunatics have taken over the asylum! sigh.
> How we gonna get a tractor and haybailer around that little circle?
Not well, that’s for sure.
