Welcome to the Roadscapes Wednesday segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Roadscapes Wednesday will feature roads and infrastructure related topics. Geek Alabama Editor / Publisher Nathan Young is often called the “road geek” for a good reason, Nathan loves roads and loves talking about roads!
Roundabouts are everywhere in Europe, where they make roads safer and traffic flow smoother. But in the United States, they remain rare and often disliked. This video explores the cultural habits, historical decisions, and urban design choices that led Americans to prefer stop signs and traffic lights over circles. We’ll also look at what happens when cities try to bring roundabouts to American roads and why so many drivers push back.
