I think it would be nice if there were uniform rules for navigating traffic circles. Some places, you yield to traffic in the circle and some you yield to traffic entering the circle. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Really?

Isn't this essentially the same thing? My understanding is you basically should yield to any car that could hit you.

First one: Traffic coming into the circle yields to traffic already going around and around. (I think this should be SOP, IMO.)

Second one: Traffic in the circle going around and around yields to traffic coming into the circle. (Seems kinda silly to me because everybody's going to get backed up)

If you don't know which one this is supposed to be, you're gonna get rear-ended. Those are the cars that I'm worried about hitting me.

Yes, I know there should be signs to help you. But I'm in New Jersey where they sometimes to forget to put signs in helpful places. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
