    You never arrive at your destination unless you start moving towards it. Knock it off with the defeatist American exceptionalism.

      I’m going to assume positive intent and not the hostile tone “knock it off” reads like to me.

      True… roundabouts took some time but are pretty prevalent now in my region and people have gotten used to them. I don’t think the US shouldn’t try things, just pointing out a difference in culture and attitude towards cars & bikes in the US compared to Dutch. I also don’t think a college town is the right place to test something like this, maybe I’m wrong and discounting younger drivers too heavily.
