I love it. Add in some speed bumps and through traffic will go to nil.

better than those stupid roundabouts they keep putting in all around me. 

I'll give that tree 1 DD and it will be flattened.  they need to plant bigger trees.

I wonder how they will combat the road damage, when those tree roots start buckling the pavement.

I heard someone in a 4x4 has already tried to flatten the tree.

I do prefer roundabouts though, it's just the divs that come to a complete stop at them that are the PITA. Yesterday on the way home from work I had a guy in front of me coming to a complete stop. So for 3 roundabouts I was honking my horn once each time because I could clearly see (even though I am behind him) that the road was clear  >:D

Even worse when people stop on the roundabout  :eek:

This is why we humans can't have nice things.
