How many of you know what a traffic rotary is?
I live in New England, and I've heard that they don't have them in the South... I'm curious as to how many of you know what a "rotary" or "traffic circle" is and if you've ever driven in one?
On average, I'd say I drive through one a day...

A traffic circle is an intersection with a circular shape and, usually, a central island. In some traffic circles two-way traffic is allowed within the circle. It is much more common, however, that traffic is allowed to go in one direction only around a central island. In some traffic circles, entering roads are controlled by stop signs or traffic signals. In other cases, traffic enters the circulatory roadway by merging, sometimes at relatively high speeds. Traditionally, traffic entering a circle has the right-of-way, although some circles give right-of-way to the primary roads.
In roundabouts, as opposed to traffic circles, entering traffic must yield to traffic already in the circulatory roadway.
