This monstrosity in Sherwood Park is another Edmonton adjacent failure. On first glance it doesn't look bad, but if you ever have to use it you quickly realize it does not function at all like a proper traffic circle. I felt far more safe on the wrong side of the road in the UK bouncing through chained traffic circles than in this thing.

Edmonton was an early adopter of traffic circles in Canada, unfortunately that meant that they didn't quite know what they were doing. The elevation on a lot of the circles are wrong, so people aren't aware that they're actually entering a circle until they're in the circle.
