    It has at least one or two lights as well, it's a messy intersection as well. Like you said = multi point.

    Are you sure you grew up in Boston? Because if you did, you would have called them Rotaries:p.

    If you want to have some fun, hit the Concord rotary at rush hour.

    And of course, the big problem in England is that they go around them backwards. That was a big problem for me and my moped in Bremuda a few years ago. Whoops!

    Seriously, I think they are much safer at junctions where there are several roads. More dents but less injury.

    Columbus Circle is technically not a roundabout. In fact, the name suggests it's a ... traffic circle! :)
