When I was in Florida I saw ONE roundabout, that confused me going the wrong way round it, and didnt see one fixed camera! Saw a few cops with speed guns, at least you could see them! They're everywhere here!
Instead of traffic signals and stop signs the English utilize these round-abouts. Brad says they work very well. The main rule is that you yield to whoever is on your right. If you are about to enter and there is nobody on your right that you would hinder by entering, you can enter without stopping. Therefore, if you hit it right, you can go through several of these intersections without having to stop.
In our case yield to the left.

They work fine as long as everyone understands how they work and follows the "highway code" ie give way to the right and dont enter the roundabout unless yr exit is clear. Problems come during times like rush hour, when the volume of traffic and ignorant people who wither wont give way or insist on entering the roundabout and blocking junctions means that the whole thing gets clogged up and no one goes anywhere!!!!

That would be the biggest of them all. The round about around the Arc de Triomphe. When you are stuck on the inside you won't be able to get out for a long time.

tracffic circels with multiple lanes is just asking for trouble. By the way, you can never rely on other drivers to be intelligent or courteous.

That is why there are so many dents in French cars.

I've been all over Europe and one thing I have to say is that the police cars look sorta harmless and sometimes cute. At least in America the police cars are sorta large and menacing looking. One look at an American police car and I wanna move, but a little Renault doesn't inspire me to pull over.
