I'm not sure Lisa, but my GPS refers to them as roundabouts and it has no English accent wink

I was used to rotaries from driving in Cape Cod where they have many of them, but when I drove in England many years ago I was confused by the road signs that warned of a "circus" ahead. I kept looking for the big tents until I realized that a circus was a rotary in the UK.
They have recently begun building rotary/roundabouts here in northern Indiana, and the local populace has been having problems getting used to them. Not everyone has figured out yet that the car in the rotary has the right of way so you have to keep your eye on the approaching cars when you are in it. It can be a real circus!

In Olathe, Kansas we call them roundabouts. We have whole parts of town where every intersection is a roundabout. Wheee!
