   We have a couple of 4-way-stop+roundabout intersections here.  Maximize   
   the stupidity.  They do it for "traffic calming", not efficiency.  Every   
   time I hear about "traffic calming" I have more sympathy for the guy who   
   takes a barrel of oil out to an open field and sets it on fire just to   
   protest.   
      
   I know, not strictly relevant, but the only way to protest stupid   
   traffic decisions is with a shotgun.
