Ground Round

The roundabout used to be a charming traffic oddity you'd see in a British movie, with the lads chasing birds round and round in Picdadilly Circus.

But the roundabout -- also known as Getting Pinched For Drunk Driving Vortex, What-the-Hell!, and the Neighborhood Association Flowerbed-- is now showing up in neighborhoods across the country, adding much-needed aggravation and steering-wheel-pounding to morning commutes.

Safety = good. But trying to figure out who has the right-of-way in a circle isn't cutting it.
