They used to have them all over the place in Jersey in the 1950s and early ‘60s. We called them “circles”. The state got rid of them in the ‘70s and ‘80s because they were “too dangerous”. Now they're coming back. I guess its a case of back to the future.

I remember a few of them in the Newark area when I was a kid.

Down in Mexico City the main drag is called the Reforma it has eight or nine of them. You talk about pure fear, that was my sense.

IMO, the NJ “jughandles” are a big improvement over the circles...IF there is good signage.

Rotary or circles are not the same as roundabouts. The traffic controls for roundabouts favores those in the roundabout whereas the older circles(rotaries) really did not have much control at all.
