We don't have that many traffic circles here in the U.S. Although the fact she's staying in the marked lane is probably a good thing.

Hippo, it's called a yield sign in the U.S. Same rules.

There's about 3 here where I am. Fly in, fly out.

Traffic circle or roundabout? (they're different things apparently.

Roundabout then, since it says you only have to yield...

Err, ours are called traffic circles, but we only have to yield here...

Maybe they have different rules in his state...

In Georgia, it's yield to traffic in the circle. And Aldo, other than being the wrong way, that's a good example of a traffic circle. Larger than the ones in this area, but definitely a traffic circle.

It is the right way.

Anyways, the link I gave clearly indicates the difference between the 2. If you're trying to make traffic circles closer to the superior roundabout system, of couse you'd begin to adopt their characteristics.

Aldo, your first point is a matter of perspective...

Yes, that appears to be right, but they're not calling it that in driving instruction here in Georgia. Not surprising, really.

never seen a 'roundabout' or a 'driving circle'...

In europe, they're EVERYWHERE

Even at entrances to really small streets...

Yes... evidently they were introduced to get the Italians to quit blowing their car horns at each other five miles from the intersection.
