General Road and Highway Discussion

[panamaniac]

I have never had any problem with the local roundabouts, although I do find them smaller than I would like. The other week, however, I did get a reminder of how vigilant you need to be on entering the circle. I was in the inside lane of Homer Watson, and came to the roundabout at Block Line Rd. There was van stopped in the outer lane and as I edged forward, looking left for my opening, I could see only at the last minute that there was a pedestrian crossing (in the crosswalk) in front of the stopped van. It was a strong reminder to me to remember to look to the right, as well as to the traffic in the circle to the left, before proceeding.
