So there's a plan to add a traffic circle at a busy rural intersection in the east part of this county. It's probably a good idea.

Near my parents there is a "Traffic Triangle". It's fairly ridiculous. Also only a few blocks from a roundabout in one direction, and a poorly controlled intersection drastically in need of fixing (but the fixing can't happen until Vermont and New Hampshire agree on what to do about the bridge first, and there's also the issue of the railroad crossing) a few blocks the other way.

Traffic Circles are fantastic when everyone using them knows the rules. When the social contract breaks down, however, chaos and mayhem ensue.
