What's the difference between a roundabout and a turnabout? I'd only heard of roundabouts. 


By the way, I like roundabouts but I don't get the ones with stop signs at the entrances. That seems to defeat the beauty of the thing. I think they do it just to annoy people into using another route. The roundabouts with stop signs seem to occur mostly in neighborhoods.

I prefer roundabouts to turnabouts. Hard for large trucks to use either, I 
guess. We know intersections in our residential feeders where a roundabout would 
work better than current 3-minute lights. 

Anyone else read that last sentence as "cash bar?" Great idea! Pubs should be 
closer to our homes.
