Traffic Circles
A unique aspect of Amerige Heights that we tend to take for granted is the traffic circle. Did you quickly recall who had the right-of-way when you first approached the circle? Did it seem a bit out of place? After navigating the circle a few times you probably began to realize what a clever traffic control device it really is. Please be patient with visitors to the community who may be unaccustomed to them.
The first traffic circle in the United States was constructed in 1905 in New York City and was known as a “gyratory.” In its basic form, a traffic circle consists of a raised island at the center of an ordinary right-angle intersection. The island, which directs cars counterclockwise, is intended to reduce speeds and maintain a flow of traffic – no stop signs or signals are needed. The low curb allows oversized vehicles to pass freely. Here are the basic rules:
– Slow down as you approach.
– Look to your left and check to your right – for cars traveling in the wrong direction.
– Yield to traffic in the circle.
– When it’s clear, turn RIGHT into the circle and drive counter-clockwise until you get to the street you want to turn onto.
– Once in the circle you have the right-of-way. Do not stop except to avoid a collision.
– When you get to the street you wish to exit, turn to your right. Watch for and yield to pedestrians waiting to cross, or crossing the exit leg.
