My American friend here, calls it a `rotary`. Wouldn`t work here though...
`you go`
`no, you go`
`no, you go`
`no, you go`
both drivers inch forward a fraction
`you go`
`no, you go`
`no, you go`
`no, you go`
repeat ad infinitum...
PS: FarEast, aren`t they driving the wrong way in that photo? UK pics only now!!!
Good article, i just finished motorbike training at a local driving center as my bike license didn't transfer over to my Japanese license al those years ago. I was taught and firmly believe that behind the drivers wheel is the best place in the lane to ride but the instructors here kept telling me to hang left in the lane. I passed the course but know that I'll be staying out in the right half of the lanes. With my lights on.
My Japanese flatmate in Aus told me that roundabouts wouldnt work in Japan cause it requires judgement and decision making that aren't taught in schools. He cursed the amount of lights in Japan but they do take the above two factors out of the equation.
Though there is still the important decision to be made as to whether to obey the signals or ignore them ...
...except about traffic lights in a car, or you may get rear-ended!
Same about stopping for pedestrians at zebra crossings. The police don't enforce the law and bus drivers are just about the only drivers I see stop there.
