    Now -- Australia is (still) an RHD country, but, irrespective of that... this is... not a good idea.
    In full disclosure, I freaking hate roundabouts (rotaries, as they're known in New England), but there is recent, aggressive proliferation in larger towns around here, mostly to slow down traffic.

    Nonsensical Roundabout With Corners Causes Chaos in Australia

    The roundabout (traffic circle to some of us Yanks) is a great idea for certain intersections. It speeds us along when traffic is light (pro tip: you don't need to stop if no one's coming from your driver's side) and it eliminates those annoying red lights where we are held for traffic that never comes. Europe, particularly the UK, has embraced them decades, and we're seeing more and more traffic circles in the States.

    The USPS, the undisputed champions of doing it wrong.

    3 shipments from 3 different places and all 3 are, as of right now, somewhere unknown. How is that even possible!?!

    Wha.....haven't you seen MIB? they're all aliens.......I retired from USPS after 37.9 years. I've seen a lot of changes and a lot of expansion, cutbacks and progress, but the one thing that has always been a key factor in "why is this so messed up?" is that you get the wrong person in the wrong position.

    I had four years of higher level and even worked at district level for a year or so and became acquaintances with the district manager (the boss of all bosses district wide) and one day I asked him, "why are some employees allowed to run operations into the ground and sink ships?"

    His answer was simply this, all the employee has to do is qualify for the job, it doesn't matter what kind of **** they are! They screw it up enough and then they talk to me, then a new **** takes their place.
