  • Absolutely, but there are a few problems with this. First, I live in the US. Americans do NOT know how to negotiate a roundabout. There is a roundabout near my house. The instructions of how to use it are posted on signs as you approach. They are wrong. They actually have inside lanes exiting across the outside lanes that can continue around. So not only is it wrong but it’s teaching the locals here what NOT to do at a normal roundabout.

    Second, they don’t fit at existing intersections.

    Third, I think they would be more expensive than just a piece of tech attached to traffic lights that already exist.

    I mean the best solution would be some good public transportation, but I’m trying to be more realistic here. That’s for more civilized nations. In the US the car rules. And the bigger, the better.











  • Hmmm, I don’t get this. Usually if you’re in a flood area the mortgage company requires flood insurance. If you don’t get it, they get it for you and send you the bill.

    But as most are saying, it’s a scam. They will tell you you have flood insurance without mentioning that there are three different kinds of flood damage. Rising water is the one most of us think of, but there is flood damage cause by plumbing issues and finally wind driven water. To a home owner, it’s water damage. To an insurance company it’s an opportunity to either charge you three times or deny your claim.

    It’s great!
