Two simple rules for traffic circles

It’s a mystery why drivers still have such a hard time with the concept

How is it that half of our drivers still cannot navigate a simple one lane traffic circle? Only two rules, folks, yield to the traffic in the circle and signal when you exit.

I once came across a senior lady stopped in the middle of the circle waving people on probably thinking, my what a nice courteous driver I am. Also scary is when a driver enters a circle and never mind not yielding, but doesn’t even look.

Maybe our local traffic enforcement people can set up around any of the circles and I assure you that 50 per cent of the cars will be customers. How about a twofold scenario? They can raise some ticket revenue and educate our drivers at the same time.

Just saying.
