Los Angeles is in desperate need of 100s of roundabouts to replace the rarely acknowledged stop signs. Spouse informed me that she actually encountered a roundabout in Los Angeles yesterday. Not sure I ever have.

Incredulous, I tracked it down on google maps, and it's a paint-by-numbers beauty. You simply could never go wrong here at what I assume must be some Angelenos first ever roundabout.

Framegrab of a two lane entry into the roundabout at the intersection of Riverside Dr, San Fernando Rd, and Figueroa St. Paint on the road guides vehicles to the allowed roundabout exits for each lane, featuring a handy dot to indicate the relative location of the center of the roundabout.Roundabout entrance showing a well marked pedestrian crossing, double pedestrian crossing signs with user-operated blinking LEDs, double Yield signs, as well as quadruple road markings warning drivers to yield to vehicles in the roundabout. Plus some large and immovable art pieces in the middle of the roundabout to deflect anyone trying to drive over the roundabout.
