Actually it is a road race. Sort of like driving in Boston and trying
to
get out of a round-a-bout. Or whatever those things is called.

They used to be called a "rotary". But, as the liberals have become
more
influential over the years, they are now called "round-a-bouts".

I never called them a rotary nor did I call them a "round-a-bout".

I called them #$%%##$%*&*&&##@$$%%##$&**&*&^ pains in the ass.

Espiecally the one in Revere by the MTA station and the one in Lynn at
the Swampscott line.

Years ago, this state decided that rotaries were a traffic impediment and
safety hazard, so a program was funded to do away with them. Then,
years later, somebody realized that a rotary in a multi road intersection
was the most efficient way to move traffic safely, so they started
rebuilding them.

Go figure.

One thing is for sure though. The traffic going over the Sagamore Bridge
to Cape Cod moves much better since they eliminated the rotary that
existed for years on the north side of the bridge.
Now they call it a "fly over".

They put a couple rotaries in the road near my house when they developed
some lots. Bad design, but they did leave a very small curb at the edge.
Maybe 1.5" so the firetrucks could make it around the rotary faster. Best
thing they did with the rotaries was take a D-9 Cat to them after too many
accidents and complaints.
