Probably a good thing. Seems like more and more parents are choosing to drive their kids to school and the chaos results in a lot of impatience.

    Go to McKenzie Towne, that roundabout is anything but calming. Roundabouts don’t calm traffic. Maybe if people knew how to drive and how to use them properly, they would. Or if the city knew how to properly design and properly sign/lane them (again, looking at McKenzie Towne), maybe then they would calm people. Instead they enrage and cause hella traffic backups.

      I suspect you are conflating regular roundabouts with traffic-calming mini-roundabouts. The link above shows the latter, if you are curious.

        I know what you meant, but small or big, they confuse people. Don’t ask me to explain why, because I can’t. The concept is pretty straight forward. Drivers licenses don’t equal IQ tests I guess.
