There have been several times I've driven all over the city looking for something, then got home and ordered from Amazon. So now I just order. That's several trips saved.

I justify being lazy all the time too. That one time I needed grommets. I need some SAE-40 on the way to the airport right meow. Imma order it on Amazon to be there when I get back. Need some golf balls, they should be in Oyama tomorrow morning.

Of course the car in the inside lane can exit but they can't switch lanes to exit. I am talking about cars in the outside lane merging to the inside lane when they entered the circle in the outside lane or vice versa. You can't do that.

Yeah, I hear you. What helps me is this thinking of Bohr’s model of the atom. Some traffic circles are like an atom with two orbital levels for electrons to inhabit, they’re closer to fuzzy clouds, but imagine them as distinct levels (lanes) instead. The electrons (cars) can move (change lanes) between these two levels (lanes) but the question is, should they and does it really matter to the other electrons (cars)?

Fine! Think of a traffic circles like donuts, and each lane is another donut nested inside the other, and the sprinkles are cars and people are wondering if the sprinkles should cross from one donut to the other without signalling.

It does matter to the other cars/electrons. If I'm driving in an s orbital and someone else is driving in a p orbital we don't just form an sp hybrid...
