This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Traffic circles... Presumably you mean the super compact euro ones? "Normal" ones are hell as a pedestrian.

In Europe, we call the super compact ones "normal".

We struggle with explicit circles.

Yes, I guess technically these are called roundabouts. I've seen a few of the bigger ones that are decently pedestrian friendly with good visibility and well marked crossings. But yeah most of the big ones are gauntlets.
