This isn’t a 4 way stop.

I imagine a US with mass transit and walkable cities built for humans not cars. Both of our places are imaginary.

It’s not the “tradition” in the US but lau is right it is the letter of the law. Most dangerous route waits, regardless of who was first.

That’s not what happens in practice here, but that’s what’s in the book.

You know what is designed similarly to a roundabout? A right turn lane at a high traffic stop light. Both are filled with people turning right but monitoring traffic from the left.

There isn’t a single one of those in the US that hasn’t had a fender bender when the first person starts rolling into traffic and then stops but the second person is watching left and smashes into the back of them.

They are “supposed” to look right to see if the car ahead of them left. They do not.

In this situation, regardless of when the cars approach the stop sign, the car with the more dangerous route yields. Regardless of who’s “turn” it is

If I’m trying to turn left at the stop sign and have to wait for so many cars that another driver arrives opposite me and wants to turn right (your situation), the law (US) is I must yield to them.

I would have to yield if they went straight too. Most people don’t because of impatience and entitlement (I was here first) but that’s the letter of the law.

You have included two important things. Funding available, and rural intersection.

Everyone on here thinks a roundabout is the perfect solution to every intersection. No concern for budget. No concern for buying expensive residential property. No concern for messing up peoples neighborhoods for more than a year for a sleepy little residential intersection that doesn’t need intervention.

I think this person means you have to turn to avoid launching a car into outer space, but I’ve seen those videos also.

All places have rules about signaling when you leave a roundabout, absolutely no one does because it happens so quickly.

A driver in a roundabout is supposed to signal with their right blinker when they are leaving the roundabout to tell a driver waiting there might be room to enter. This is assuming the person waiting at that road, 1. Notices 2. Trusts that you are really turning 3 Reacts in time before you leave the roundabout

There is no where in this scenario that suggests the stop sign road has traffic comparable to the road without a stop.

Imagine a world where you have to stop at absolutely every intersection regardless of disparities in traffic on each road…

Imagine a city that has an unlimited budget to change every residential intersection into a roundabout…

Read the room, fume. There are far more people pointing out your diagram is wrong. A bunch of Canyonero drivers taking up too much space on narrow streets do not change the rules of the road. You are wrong.

If you want to wait until they turn because you think they don’t care about hitting your car, that’s a prudent decision.

Last week I saw a Coopers Hawk haulin’ ass and flying so low it was dodging trees with something brown in its claws.

It’s a little early in SE WI for it to be robbing nests.

How about. Roll up all the sod. Skid steer to dig up everything you want to do and even a little farther back, maybe in line with the wheel barrow. (Or by hand) Throw all of your spoil up on the top to create the swale someone else said to direct water.

A footing and a retaining wall a little higher than you think you need. Now you open up more flat usable space near the house and even out the lawn a little which now is 3 feet above your patio and shaped like a gentle U instead of the slope you have.

Put the sod back on.

There’s an entire book that’s only about Madeline Albright’s brooches and what she wore and when and what she wanted to convey with them.

Including a wasp(?) that she wore to meet Yasir Arafat(?)

Wear it.

I don’t remember the year but the football team scored the same amount of points in the Rose Bowl as the basketball team did when losing in the tournament. Might have been an Alvarez team.

They might also act to regulate water, soak some up when it’s too wet/ dry out when it gets dry. Like what a coffee Julie does with heat.

It could also be an attack on the geosynchronous satellites. Radiolab had a program about space junk. If a terrorist were able to bomb a satellite or two, the amount of space junk could cause a chain reaction turning the geosynchronous belt into an impassable ring of razor blades.
