Round Abouts in Qatar

gfxmad's picture

Are you comfortable with the round-abouts in Qatar? Do you think ,the authorities preserve the round-abouts for a long time??

(I posted on Questions but got a response to put as forum topic. so reposting it)

Yes. I have a Patrol so they only worry me when up against water tankers!

I sincerely hope they keep the remaining round-abouts until they finish screwing up all the other roads!!!

I miss South African roads and traffic lights. Here it takes way too long for a traffic light to change colors. It's ridiculous!

i have no troubles with R/A as i go to work early and they are not crowded and get back early ... so far i have no troubles

i think traffic light are more boring as they are time based, regardless of the cars waiting on which side.. it is programmed to spend a specific period of time on each side... thats what irealized

I dont mind round-abouts bit it seems people dont know how to stay in their lanes, hence why everyone ends up everywhere, and have accidents....I do hope they get rid of them..

i agree with you.. and every time, standing and endlessly in front of traffic lights, i think what would be the purpose for it?? why the h** you have to spend on the intersection 5-6 sometimes 8-10 minutes??? isn't that ridiculous?? what a waste of time...
..and then you can see that the cars get jammed on the other side of the intersection, and cars start blocking the intersection, but the lights still just don’t want to change!! what a silly order!

I agree with SonOfPrince...

I love round-abouts and really miss one of those that were demolished to replace them with traffic signals. Ones you understand the logic of Round abouts there is nothing better than that. I sepcially love those RA without traffic signals.
