Who has the right-of-way in Australia, Mark -- the vehicle already in the circle or the vehicle entering it? Only the former makes any sense to me, but apparently at least one New England state (New Hampshire?) gives the right-of-way to ENTERING vehicles, which sounds like a great recipe for gridlock, etc.
right of way to ENTERING vehicles!! that sounds insanely stupid to me!!! so then entering vehicles don't have to slow down and can enter at any speed they wish since they have right of way?? sounds really scary?

although i do have to ask, WHY ARE SO MANY AMERICANS SO "AFRAID" OF TRAFFIC CIRCLES?
