Completely unrelated to any of the weighty issues that you tackle here, I just wanted to comment on traffic circles.
I moved to Los Angeles from Boston. After three years, I just happened to move very close to one of the only larger rotaries in all of LA county.
They have the nerve to call it a traffic circle. As soon as I heard that, I went "Okay, and what engineer moved here from New Jersey?" ;-}
(Yes, I'm sure I'll come back and say things about your very smart post in a bit, but I just got back from a bike ride, so my brain is all "duuuude, sun and surf" mode. After I've eaten and showered, it's possible I'll be able to think again.
