Check the top level domain name of my email address. > My guess is that in the UK rotaries don't have stop signs and you can > just roll on in. Correct... there's just a give way line on the road. We don't even have give way signs here normally: 99.9% of the driving population know exactly what the rules are, and the other 0.1% are above 80 and drive so dodgily that evryone avoids them like the plague anyway. Rolling on in is always the way to go unless law requires you to stop. > Of the two I've seen in America (one in Des PLaines, > Il, the other in Orange, CA) both has stop signs at the entrances.
