no way - no need to confuse people even further. Every time I hit a 4-way stop sign I half expect someone to go out of turn because it's too difficult to follow along.

If people are so easily confused that they can not figure how to navigate around a circle, how can we trust them to operate a motor vehicle at all?

We cannot, and that's why there's defensive driving. You can only do so much.

And as mentioned in another thread - I'm not gonna trust the common man with a gun out in public either.

We have quite a few and they are a horror! It seems no one understands the protocol to enter and exit one, besides it's hard to keep the wheel turned properly when your texting...
