    I wonder how long you could drive on this before anyone realised you were just going around in circles?

    It’s just five exits, why on earth was a regular roundabout not good enough?

      Handles like 25x as much traffic

  All I know is that a simple 4-way stop, with multiple lanes in all directions, has an effort:chaos ratio that is off the charts. No need for multi-million-dollar engineering projects.

    Stop signs on a highway are a great way of killing people.

      Reminds me how whenever someone makes a realistic Australian city in cities skylines, everyone in the comments roasts them for adding stop signs/signals on highway ramps, which extremely dangerous and inefficient.

      They really do have stop signs/signals on highway ramps in Australia 😭

    4-way stops are an American abomination. One street really ought to have right of way, otherwise it would be a small roundabout.

    I can happily say I have never been exposed to a 4-way stop in Australia.

      You’re lucky. They’re well-intended, but really awful. You’re supposed to traverse the intersection in the order you arrive. All it takes is for one jackass to waive* their right of way, or run the intersection, and the other three drivers are thrown into disarray. Add multiple lanes to this and, well… good luck everyone!

      * Often literally waving at you to go. Through the intersection. At the wrong time.

  I never noticed, if you make the rotary supercollider with two way streets, it works!

    Cars shouldn’t merge in an interchange… It’s as effective as the roundabout.

    source

    • marcos@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I didn’t say it’s efficient.

      Cars are merging there in 6 distinct points. They may need to merge up to 5 times to leave the collider. It’s anything but efficient. Also, not every street can be reached from every street.

      A roundabout is orders of magnitude better than this.

  The clover leaf (first one, when they are not a meme) is a really fun place on a motorcycle.
