[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 962440, member: 65699"] I agree, that's the layout every mall I've seen has. Every mall also has these nimrods who have to stop the flow of traffic to do the "right thing", because they think they know more about the flow of traffic than the civil engineers who designed the mall's roadways. :banghead: I also agree. That behavior at multi-way stops has become so ridiculous that I'd vote to replace them all with traffic circles. Traffic circles are fun, convenient, and if there is no obvious traffic in them, one only needs to proceed slowly, never stop. Better for the MPGs, and shown safer in my area. (Via analysis of accident counts at "troubled" 4-way stops which were replaced with circles.) Whenever any idea of more traffic circles arises, the public outcry is strong. People as a whole seem to fear these "European" innovations. That's good, maybe those drivers will pay more attention with them around. It's not as though they pay attention to the stop signs at our current 4-way stops, or to whom the right-of-way belongs. (Or, as it is colloquially known here, "rightaway" :banghead:) [/QUOTE]
