20 Something Snaps - Roundabouts

 While they are an effective form of traffic management Roundabouts  can strike fear into drivers who are not used to them. I remember , on my first visit to London, in 1983, when confronted with large roundabouts I sometimes did a few circuits prior to making an exit. 

On our travels we have driven around and sometimes over a number of roundabouts of all sizes. Sometimes these are filled with weeds, sometimes lovingly tended and sometimes they are home to sculptures or other structures.

Here are a few we have seen. As these pics are mostly taken from the windows of moving vehicles their quality is dubious.

Off Road Vehicle

As we were driving along the M1 today we came across a traffic hiccup. This truck ain't going anywhere in a hurry.

Dodging Traffic in the Big Apple

Times Square today

Whenever I visit New York I am  astounded by the way that most pedestrians don't pay any attention to the traffic signals and just wander across the road any old time dodging taxis and buses. What is even more amazing is that the policemen who are on nearly every corner around Times Square just ignore them.

Imagine how much money they could make in fines if they booked these lawbreakers. They might even get enough to fix up the rough sidewalks and patchy roads.
