I never noticed, if you make the rotary supercollider with two way streets, it works!

The clover leaf (first one, when they are not a meme) is a really fun place on a motorcycle.

Whatever the fuck the double roundabout of no escape under the Mancunian Way is supposed to be.

All I know is that a simple 4-way stop, with multiple lanes in all directions, has an effort:chaos ratio that is off the charts. No need for multi-million-dollar engineering projects.
Stop signs on a highway are a great way of killing people.
Reminds me how whenever someone makes a realistic Australian city in cities skylines, everyone in the comments roasts them for adding stop signs/signals on highway ramps, which are extremely dangerous and inefficient.
They really do have stop signs/signals on highway ramps in Australia 😭
A lot of the best Dashcam Owners of Australia videos involve t-bones. Ouch.
4-way stops are an American abomination. One street really ought to have right of way, otherwise it would be a small roundabout.
I can happily say I have never been exposed to a 4-way stop in Australia.
You're lucky. They're well-intended, but really awful. You're supposed to traverse the intersection in the order you arrive. All it takes is for one jackass to waive* their right of way, or run the intersection, and the other three drivers are thrown into disarray. Add multiple lanes to this and, well... good luck everyone!
Often literally waving at you to go. Through the intersection. At the wrong time.
