I was surprised how easy they were to negotiate on a visit to England, even on the wrong side of the road.
There have been a few popping up in Northern California, and I have to say that the idea is a good one except that the driving ability of many, many people does not seem to be compatible.
Last weekend two local teenagers were killed when the one driving decided to go right through the middle and launched 100 feet into a walnut grove.
They must have driven around it dozens or more times.
Going out on a limb, the CHP speculated that speed or alcohol might have been a factor.
