There was one at the intersection of 111th Avenue and Groat Road which the City removed due to too many fatalities. My oldest brother took a flying leap up a grassy embankment in the early 60s with a Ford coupe that was totalled in the parking lot at Westmount Shopping Centre, and he with a mere broken hand. Those were the days when there was no seatbelts.<BR/><BR/>I can see why you don't like them, as they do take getting used to. Edmonton had several which I notice now when doing a Google map search that most of them have been removed.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969150854665923178.post-55176989408442020962008-10-20T20:10:00.000-04:002008-10-20T20:10:00.000-04:00I think I'd avoid the area altogether!I think I'd avoid the area altogether!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969150854665923178.post-66718615410255099892008-10-20T17:44:00.000-04:002008-10-20T17:44:00.000-04:00Here in the UK we LOVE roundabouts!!

One of the rules of circles is that you don't change lanes in them, but it looks from the painted arrows on that photo that you have to on the bottom circle if you are going anywhere but straight through.<BR/><BR/>The best road design disaster in Edmonton is taking a Freeway, that was designed for travel at 100km/h (60-65 mph) and putting in traffic lights! They then reduced the speed to 80k (50mph) and now they are talking about reducing it again! When will they stop calling it a freeway?Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969150854665923178.post-15025922629180074992008-10-20T13:03:00.000-04:002008-10-20T13:03:00.000-04:00I can see where those would pose lots of problems....I can see where those would pose lots of problems.Travis Erwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09420879160702098979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969150854665923178.post-12520714901416899952008-10-20T11:36:00.000-04:002008-10-20T11:36:00.000-04:00My parents were just in Brighton last week.
