A four-panel meme using a scene from Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Panel 1: Anakin, with a U.S. Department of Transportation logo, says, “We’re going to redesign this intersection to be safer.” Panel 2: Padmé smiles and asks, “So, you’re going to make it a roundabout, right?” Panel 3: Anakin stares silently, expressionless. Panel 4: Padmé’s smile fades as she repeats, “Right?”

Yeah Ohio has been slowly switching to roundabouts for over a decade. Then i moved to the PNW where they're definitely slower to making the switch but still doing it.

Major intersections it's still rare, but I've lived in a small town where the primary intersection was a roundabout

    Its funny you mention the PNW, I lived in WA for most of my life and the shitshow that went down at the new at the time roundabout the next town over is 100% responsible for my avoidance of them today. I saw an older driver turning left into it and drove against traffic despite very clear signage and a clear flow of traffic.
