Geocache Description:

The cache is located near two...TWO roundabouts!!!! I drive them frequently and I am puzzeled with how FEW actually know the basics of these awesome things! Please read the long discription and find the cache!

Traffic circles, or roundabouts, were invented in the early 20th century and built in cities throughout Europe and the United States. Traffic signals started taking their place in the 1950s, and today's drivers are easily intimidated and confused when they encounter one. Learn to use them; they're making a comeback as traffic calming devices, and decrease the time you and your car are just sitting.
Here is the HOW TO:
1 Slow down as you approach the intersection. You're typically not required to stop.

2 Wait for a gap and merge with the moving traffic into the outside lane.

3 Yield to vehicles already in the circle.

4 Turn left or right from the circle by following the inside lane around and then moving to the outside lane, following it to your exit.

5 Continue driving straight ahead by approaching the circle on the outside lane and staying out of the circling lane.

6 Watch for pedestrians and bicycles.

7 Keep in mind that buses or large trucks need extra room to make turns and might take up more than one lane in a traffic circle.

8 Obey all traffic signs and road markings.

9 Signal your intent to other drivers when entering, going around and exiting the circle.
