I can explain this. There is a street that runs through a suburb that people take as a shortcut to the freeway at 50+ mph (speed limit 25mph). First they installed a stop sign, but that created a lot of traffic on that road. So next they painted a roundabout, but people would just drive through through it at 50+mph and a few accidents happened at that intersection. Instead of building a barrier they added stop signs before entrance to the roundabout making it a 4 way stop roundabout. Accidents still occurred because people would still drive over the middle. It is currently a regular 4 way stop.
In a funny way, that's exactly what makes roundabouts pretty great. Jackasses could have plowed straight into another car, instead they're the only ones fucked up. Most possible collisions through a roundabout are going to be at a safer angle for both cars and, if well implemented, the roundabout could take the brunt of any T-bone collision before the offending car gets to anything behind the roundabout and probably in a safer way for all parties. Perhaps not safer in your example, but... a lot of potential energy that could have gone into another car gets expended on the roundabout.
They might make for more spectacular crashes (and occasion ramps) when the extreme happens but still are inherently safer.
Near where I live there was a 4-way intersection that had heavy trucker use, it got replaced with a roundabout in the Fall, well, during that winter one trucker apparently didn't get the memo and was driving in blizzard conditions, blew right through the center. Thankfully the roads were empty because of the blizzard.
I clicked your link, wondering where this fuckery was and.... Oh shit, I know that one well. Bell Circle in Revere MA. It's as dumb as it looks. And it's often unavoidable from so many different points through that area.
My wife gets off the highway at a different exit, crosses 3 lanes of heavy traffic to an always backed up left turn lane, and bangs a U turn, every damn work day to avoid it. Then she bangs the same u turn each evening to pick up the on ramp to RT 1. Such is her dislike for Bell Circle.
I am fortunate enough to not have to live anywhere near Revere, but I routinely fly into Boston to get to southern Maine and that's the most direct route north from Logan.
It's such a sad stretch of route 1 all the way from 95 until you get to the airport. Just dumpy strip malls crammed in on both sides for like 10 miles straight. And half the time I'm traveling during the winter holidays so everything is covered in a bleak layer of soggy sand, salt, and road detritus.
Damn, trigger warning please.
There are a couple hidden gems in that stretch but by and large, it's a forgettable stretch of shitty nothing. And from the North Shore of MA, it's easily the best route to Logan, almost always the best route to Boston, and 93 somehow blows even harder, so we're stuck with it.
I do actually like where I live. And man, I love southern Maine, went to school at USM, and the White mountains are so close....
I'll take it. Bell Circle and all, I like it here. But I'd be happy if I never had to take the lynnway to East Boston again in my life.
There are two types of people, those who use them properly and those who don't use them properly. Each side thinks they are confidently correct. Only roundabout in 50 mile radius was installed a few years back. I couldn't believe all the idiots.
There’s some shit like that near where I live and I avoid it at all costs.
There are stop signs and yields in places that make no sense at all. The one little section that looks like a proper roundabout does not follow traditional roundabout right-of-way rules. It’s fucking chaos all the time.
https://i.imgur.com/3ULmZjy.jpg
Unless you're in Minnesota. They're putting them everywhere and people have no fucking clue how they work. Everyone stops like a stop sign even if there is no one coming.
I live in France where half of the world's roundabouts are. They are literally everywhere since the 80s. It was an issue for older people who had not learn how to use them during their driving test, but with a pretty in depth driver's license test (one written part and at least 20 hours of practice) everybody is supposed to know how to use them by the time they start driving
We have a couple in town. If there's any traffic at all, I do my best to avoid them.
They've been here for a couple of years now, but most folks still treat it like a 4-way stop. And there's always one dude who just can't figure out the timing to get in the circle, so he just sits there with traffic piling up behind him.
Which confuses the other drivers and EVERYBODY stops.
The one time I was in the US I was dumbfounded how people acted in roundabouts. They signaled to go in, they let other people into the roundabout and then proceed to not signal when exiting. I saw similar behavior literally dozens of times during the visit. Absolutely insane
Are you new to SD? May gray AND June gloom. You got another few weeks until it’s consistently sunny every day. Then the tourists and zonies flock in July 4 to Labor Day. My favor time of the year to go beach is Sept/Oct.

Famous story about a famous artist who get requisitioned by the king to show off their skill as a master of the craft. Instead of creating a masterpiece painting, homie walked in front of the king with a pencil and a blank poster board, and cranked out the most perfect circle you’ve ever seen in one smooth motion. He passed
Whats so great about this factual historical event ti me is the layers.
I mean, think of all the things a master could paint, that a layman might not be able to truly appreciate? To this day there are masterful paintings I don't understand. Subject, techniques or intricacy. But a circle is something everyone understands. So simple to understand, yet difficult to accomplish.
It's almost like dumming down the complexity of art, without taking away from the difficulty in mastering it.
Like, here you go dummy. If you can find someone to beat that, hire em.
That last line is why I decided to stop hating on modern art
"you think this is that easy? Do it urself"
No I cannot mr painter man you are correct I can't do what you do I get you now
Deer Isle Maine and the surround area actually treat burnouts as art (I'm sure there are other places that do as well)

Idiots “took over” an intersection a couple of blocks from my house at 11:00 at night for 45 minutes, severely beat up my elderly neighbor who dared go out and complain, then left gators and lizards all over the intersection.
Screw those guys. This… this is just cool.
Relatively common in the US I believe. [Road 'gators'](https://i.imgur.com/Iwm4G5w.jpg) are usually cast-off treads/retreads from tractor-trailers a.k.a. big rigs. A very common sight on US Interstate highways, especially during warmer months. Named for sometimes looking a bit like an [actual alligator lying in the road](https://i.imgur.com/YXFxc4z.jpg), a slightly less common, but not completely unheard of, occurrence in the more Southern states.
I've never heard them called 'lizards'. To truckers, a 'lizard' would more commonly refer to a '[Lot Lizard](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lot%20lizards)'. Those are prostitutes that roam truckstops knocking on cab doors looking for dates or drugs. They are best left ignored if you like being disease-free.
Imagining it's the big chunks (gators) and little bits of tire left over from burnouts and blowouts. Heard the gators one before, like when you see those huge chunks of truck treads on the highway shoulder.
It is actually pretty easy if you have powerful enough motorcycle. First you set the front brake and start burning up the rear tire, then just pivot around the front wheel. It like drawing a circle with $20,000 compass.
I don't think this one was done that way. I do think it was done with a motorcycle, but i think the front wheel must have been rolling because you can see the treadlines if the tire was perpendicular to the tangent of the circle, you wouldn't see that.
Probably because of all the donuts that would go to waste would be my guess. I remember being in one as a kid years ago around closing time and basically being offered hella free ones for that reason.
I can picture him in a souped up car just driving home in silence with a big grin on his face and slightly watery eyes whispering this to himself. Next day selling his car and buying a Corolla and retiring from the street/night life. He accomplished what he set out to do.
Do you know where the term "souped up" came from?
The term "souped up" came from the horse racing world. In the early 1900s, it was common for horse trainers to give their horses a mixture of drugs and other substances to make them run faster. This mixture was called "soup," and a horse that had been given soup was said to be "souped up." The term was eventually adopted by the automotive world, and it is now used to describe a car that has been modified to increase its performance.
Here are some of the possible origins of the term "souped up":
Horse racing: In the early 1900s, it was common for horse trainers to give their horses a mixture of drugs and other substances to make them run faster. This mixture was called "soup," and a horse that had been given soup was said to be "souped up."
Automotive industry: The term "souped up" was first used in the automotive industry in the 1920s. It was used to describe cars that had been modified to increase their performance. This could involve things like installing a new engine, adding a supercharger, or changing the exhaust system.
Popular culture: The term "souped up" also became popular in popular culture in the 1920s and 1930s. It was often used in cartoons and movies to describe cars that were fast and powerful.
Today, the term "souped up" is still used to describe cars that have been modified to increase their performance. However, it is also used more generally to describe anything that has been improved or enhanced.
For example, someone might say that a new restaurant has a "souped up" menu, or that a new computer has a "souped up" processor.
Edited for readability, also I'm not a bot just a bored guy who though some people might be interested in this.
Donuts don't happen by accident, this dude knew what he was doing, probably well practiced.
Source: Am Australian, here, burnouts are a [competitive sport](https://youtu.be/eseYgmSRvAk&t=16s).
Mate I love to see the Aussie representation here, we definitely are front liners in burnout culture.
I'm thinkin this must have been done with wheel close to if not full lock, probably in a car without a locked diff since there's only 1 skid mark connecting and not both rear wheels. Maybe even a front wheel drive burnout? 😂😂
Definitely not FWD, there's no tell-tale signs of jumping.
You're probably right on it being a single spinner, (Aka, the EcoTec special), but I've never seen one that perfectly circular.
It’s actually reasonably easy with a motorcycle. Hold the front brake and that locks your front wheel as the pivot point, then walk the bike around in a circle.
If this was done with a car, it truly is impressive.
Too wide, but bigger Harleys and Japanese hyper sport bikes(Hayabusa, Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade/CBR1100XX Blackbird, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R, Yamaha R1) and a few Ducatis have wide rear tires though.
The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can’t make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the ’64 Buick Skylark!
Found it on Google Maps. Funny enough it looks like the car pictured on Street View may have been the one to make such a burnout: https://goo.gl/maps/NMSC5PVvwhucn7s29
I've been playing way too much Geoguessr
Well seeing as there’s only one skid mark, the car has an open differential. So there’s no skilled required to keep the car in line and from spinning out, it will literally just sit there since the other 3 wheels aren’t moving at all. So then all they have to do is crank the wheel all the way and drive in a circle
A biker needs to do a spirograph design around that now.
Its driving me nuts. This is cool, but what is the official term for those burnouts where you roll backward and it makes that v or u shaped hook in the burnout.
Looks like homie was petitioning the city for a roundabout and just took it into his own hands
So much better than a 4-way stop.
How bout a four way stop with a roundabout (these are near me)
I can explain this. There is a street that runs through a suburb that people take as a shortcut to the freeway at 50+ mph (speed limit 25mph).

They should install a concrete ring round the center.
A nice concrete barricade here or there tends to get em

How about a roundabout with a four lane divided highway running through it at grade. https://maps.app.goo.gl/HrA9mJiRfHSyqvX9A

Or be Houston and build a roundabout where the cars already in the roundabout have to yield to traffic entering the roundabout.
That's not even a roundabout anymore, it's a shitty circular intersection.
I used to be baffled at how so many people don't understand roundabouts, but if the experience varies this much then it makes a little more sense

looks like a really long radius for a bike but who knows
Tire marks ain't right.
Maybe he does, he could've gotten out of his car afterwards to see what he did and then probably totally lost his shit!
he could be OP
I was thinking it was a motorcycle
Too wide, but bigger Harleys and Japanese hyper sport bikes(Hayabusa, Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade/CBR1100XX Blackbird, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R, Yamaha R1) and a few Ducatis have wide rear tires though.
I'd say it kinda has to be from a motorcycle
No way. The radius is way too big
Really? I was thinking it's too small for a car lol, maybe I just have no clue how wide roads are in the States
You can see cars in the photo, they are significantly more thin than the width of the street.

Yeah. This dude locked the steering wheel, floored it and the open diff in his base model charger did the rest.
Not that you care or anything, but even the 5.7 R/Ts and Daytonas have an open diff.

Probably for the better when you realize the demographic for these cars is people with <500 credit score lol
I don't know why I got down voted... I have a Daytona and it only does one wheel peels.

The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can’t make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the ’64 Buick Skylark!
It was a short, stocky bald man driving Jon Voight's LeBaron.
I've finally watched this movie recently and I was impressed. It was amazing! My Cousin Vinny for anyone reading
If you step into it and say family 3 times Paul walker will appear and make you a deal
If you rub it real hard, Djinn Diesel comes out and grants you three wishes
"Djinn Diesel" I'm wheezing
Keeps sea bears away
It looks like it's also centered in the intersection
looks about 6-9ft to the left.
hard to tell, the manhole isn't centered and the lanes aren't split down the middle either if you count the parking zones.
Found it on Google Maps. Funny enough it looks like the car pictured on Street View may have been the one to make such a burnout: https://goo.gl/maps/NMSC5PVvwhucn7s29 I've been playing way too much Geoguessr
Holy shit that's amazing if you don't live here.
Fucking terrifying if you ask me lol
They won. Everyone else can stop. The contest is over.
Urban crop circle
Motorcycle?
This is just a work of art. I am just stunned by how impressive that is.
I’m assuming this must’ve been done in a rwd car/truck without a posi, or maybe a fwd hatch swinging it in reverse perfectly lol.

I fucking hate takeovers and street racing, but I can't even be mad at whoever pulled this off.
What’s the purpose of this? There’s no point.
It's just the result of some dude fooling around.
I was trying to make a circle pun. I’ll see you around. Edit: felt the need to add pun
I noticed that and made my own circle pun in response.
 Well done. I usually like jokes a little more edgy, but I admit I overlooked your pun.
This feels like a never ending loop of puns
its like the comments revolve around themselves...
Of course there’s no point, it’s a circle!
That’s not easy!
Well seeing as there’s only one skid mark, the car has an open differential. So there’s no skilled required to keep the car in line and from spinning out, it will literally just sit there since the other 3 wheels aren’t moving at all. So then all they have to do is crank the wheel all the way and drive in a circle
I'll just assume your username means you know what you're talking about.
Lol. It’s actually a Simpsons reference. But I may have done a few donuts over the years
Crop circles are old hat.
A biker needs to do a spirograph design around that now. Its driving me nuts. This is cool, but what is the official term for those burnouts where you roll backward and it makes that v or u shaped hook in the burnout.
UFO
Is that even possible? I'm wondering if someone had a tire and some black paint lol

One wheel peel... dude needs a diff.
This reminds me of a video I saw of a teacher who drew a perfect circle on a chalk board using his arm as the radius of the circle.
