So how are those better than traffic lights again?
elevate them...makes it impossible to go straight...
Impossible to go straight = bad for trucks, buses and everyone with a big turning circle. But it needs to be more than just markings, some kind of slightly elevated circle in the middle is definitely a must for everyone to recognize it properly. We have a few of similar size "circles" in towns around here, most people use them as regular crossings and don't bother to drive around. There's far less traffic than in the video, though.
Can I just quote:Truck Jump FAIL
Such incidents like in theRussianAmerican video are being seen -- on an instinctive level -- as fitting punishment for stupid behavior. Being indignant about laughter upon such "falling on the nose", is hypocrisy in my eyes.
