Road questions?

english call them roundabouts - what do americans call them?
Americans call them intersections - what do the english call them?

Some American cities are just beginning to study the feasibility of European style roundabouts to reduce traffic congestion.

Americans call them "interchanges", "exits", "intersections" or "crossroads"

do Americans have roundabouts ? Junctions for intersections


Zach
Americans call roundabouts what else? Roundabouts. As having to deal with three everyday (probably the most poorly engineered roundabouts in the world) I've learned the name well, and how to properly curse them out.

Now, a traffic circle is different, and traditionally smaller than a roundabout. Sometimes they have different, or no traffic controls. Sometimes a stop sign, instead of the traditional yield.

Rotaries and the crossroads are road junctions

Don't know what the Americans call Roundabouts. But Intersections are our Junctions or Crossroads I think.

Circular intersection joining two or more streets.
