My neighborhood (In the Seattle area) has intersections with small, 4 way roundabouts that are combined with 2 way stops (there’s a main street no stop with 2 side streets with stop signs)

It’s madness!




Ha! I was about to comment the same. Sacramento has the exact same thing, I regularly heard car accidents on this corner when I lived there. https://goo.gl/maps/YR29vXMf4HnNawT68

Making a left turn? I lived there for 5 years and I still don’t know who has the right away


Combining a traffic circle with stop signs is a recipe for confusion.

One thing that Seattle has going for it here is it's very narrow streets, probably 1/2 the size of that intersection in Sacramento: https://goo.gl/maps/A1epH93AE8R28rZH7

That said, we also have 4-way intersections with no stop signs and no roundabouts. This is complete madness.
