Readers confounded by chaos at roundabouts, school drop-off: Roadshow

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:55:42 GMT

Q: I agree the roundabouts are brilliant — as long as people use them correctly. Here is a puzzler for you:In the Burbank area of San Jose, I encounter a roundabout at Leland and Basile. From northbound Leland, I enter to make a left turn onto westbound Basile. I think that cars going straight from southbound Leland should yield to me when I am already in the roundabout. Consistently, they do not. They treat my action as a standard left turn, where I need to yield to them.Is there an exception to the general roundabout yield rule?Jill McCoy, San JoseA: Cars in the roundabout have the right-of-way.Q: I live within a block of a school and have the following thoughts to share:1. Some parents will not allow their kids to walk five feet to school, let alone one block.2. A one-block-away, kid-drop-off point creates chaos in a nearby residential neighborhood. There is usually only one “ideal” remote drop-off point and mass chaos occurs there.3. The afternoon pickup is worse. Pa...
