The danger of hiring a highway engineer from Jersey is that he thinks that roundabouts and traffic circles are good ideas. I don't think it's likely due to the nature of the project and the work, but I think it would work.

At least he doesn't call them rotaries, like we do here.

No, a traffic circle is never a good idea.

excuse me, you're clearly not from n.j.

They might not be a good idea, but they're still a lot of fun.

How is a roundabout distinct from a traffic circle?

There's a traffic circle about two miles from my house. Recently, there was a major construction project in which it was rumored that they'd replace the circle with a traffic light. Instead, they kept the circle intact and added off-ramps for right-hand turns.

It's an abomination.

That being said, traffic circles (they're only roundabouts if you want to pretend you're in Britain) still rock.

The buzzword you need to sell this to your bosses is traffic calming.
