This is the exact opposite of the raised bike roundabout in Eindhoven.

My first thought when I saw the photo.

What is there even to do here? It’s all an homage to concrete.

Wait what is even the point of this? Why is it a circle if there are only 2 exits?

Because some of the turning movements for access that this roundabout facilitates are u turns because a left turn only signal at the adjacent intersections to the north & east would have reduced overall vehicular throughput.

Men will do instead of going to therapy vibes.

Could it not just have been an at grade roundabout?

That would introduce multiple conflict point between the through traffic on the at grade roads, which are handling atypical travel movements.

To make it clear “going to therapy” is a euphemism for “building a rail line between both parks”

Was talking to someone yesterday as they walked through Paris - not a tourist route, but still gracious streets and interesting shops. Impossible in much of the USA (I know, I’ve tried)

Epic universe, you say? Taking note to make sure I never visit.

The silver lining is that it facilitated bus only lanes on two roads. It should be a bus only roundabout though.

Are you sure the traffic circle isn't actually opening up a portal to hell???
