¿Question #5203?
puffinge: Are traffic circles the worst man-made thing ever? If not, what then?

Phil Fleischmann: Traffic circles are not in the top 1000 worst man-made things. Leaf blowers, candy corn, cigarettes, LCR, kiddie porn, income tax, techno music, junk mail, automated phone trees, Scientology, ...
syphon: No. Corsets, probably.
Felimid: Two traffic circles (one inside the other): Dupont Circle in Washington, DC.
HavocIsHere: Double traffic circles.
Woelf: Traffic circles are awesome, and I wish they'd put in a crapload more. Especially in Maple Grove, MN, where they have some of the most poorly-timed traffic lights in the country.
Hendal: no, the gun
Spirit of 70: I think weapons of mass destruction are far worse than traffic circles.
Grujah: No. Philosophy.
KillerPower: No, mobile phones are the worst and most terrible things ever made.
Ykikamucow: Two traffic circles or even five...http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2008/03/worlds-worst-intersections-traffic-jams.html
jcaraway: yes
pwilz: Magic the Gathering
Zedsdead: The Family Circus.
Great Dane: Cars!
jdberry: Traffic dodecagons.
tankexmortis: Traffic circles are neat! You can just keep going and going and going for ever and ever!
kathleenryan: No. Accidents.
Narlgoth: Argos Catalogue Store :- D
MisterCranky: Traffic circles are for pussies. Rotaries...now that's where the action is, baby!
vandemonium: Those damn clover leaf things are worse
Joseph Hill: scrabble
archivists: round abouts
Impr3ssion: Nah. Death camps.
cgund: Traffic circles rock. People afraid of traffic circles are the worst things ever.
bigbadsteve: nah. cell phones
everlong205: Chia Pets, The Clapper, Air Supply Songs, The Show The View are all worse
DHEK: Why are traffic circles (you mean roundabouts? that's what we call 'em) so bad? They allow for constant traffic flow, unlike a 4-way traffic-light junction... although if there are many cars I think the 4-way traffic junction is better. Few or no cars then the roundabout is better.
TheArchAngel: no
rootbeer: I love traffic circles! Most people sure suck at them, though. The worst man-made thing might be the offspring of man poorly navigating a traffic circle.
Chris Page: No. Traffic circles were clearly created by the devil incarnate.
Kibbersdog: I love roundy-bouts! Sometimes I go around a few times just for fun!
POvidiusNaso: I think they rock. Americans just don't know how to use 'em.
2amp: British round-abouts rock! Kind of a Darwinian survival of the fittest test.
Brain: no. styrofoam is
rshipp: Nukular bombs.
Leo-T: cell phone rings
Gibbo: Head-cheese
leslauber: If you have to ask, then you haven't been paying enough attention
CatDonkey: Huh? What's a traffic circle?
pigasuspig: Traffic lights
medievalbanquet: Nope, Spam is the worst man-made thing ever.
ZombyDawg: They (I call them rotaries) may not be the worst but they are right up there. How 'bout those traffic signals that have a red light/green left arrow which means "go" if you are turning left and then the light turns green with no arrow when you are supposed to stop if you are turning left?
Avatar_69: No. Chemical and Biological weapons are
vampywife: i'm kinda fond of traffic circles, they take the trouble out of the whole left-turn thing. i'd say the worst man-made thing is some kind of disease we have yet to hear about.
scriptorum: Traffic triangles. Precious few of those for a reason.
Nekura: No, Yugo
Helenoftroy: high heels suck
keldrak: spam
Unitbuster: that honor goes to the segway
Gregol: TV
LemonyFresh: No. Long work days.
SenorOcho: Traffic circles are only bad if idiots don't know what they're doing.
skrutsch: Cheez Whiz
jellospike: anything related to cars is pretty horrible to me
Loquutus: they are pretty bad
Tushratta: Yes. Traffic circles are an abomination.
puffinge: they suck
CortexBomb: The worst? They speed up traffic considerably
Randy Cox: Oh, conservatives are a lot worse. In fact, much of religion would fall into that man-made problem area.
jttm: Crop circles.
heli: car alarms
xlorp: Corporations and Political Action Committees
skelebone: Traffic circles are pretty stupid, but if traffic engineers say they work, who am I to judge?
Lord_Prussian: I think they have their applications. Speed bumps are much worse. As are lights which are timed with the intent to "calm", i.e. slow down, the flow of traffic.
CDRodeffer: No, the worst ever man-made thing is the dental drill.
chaddyboy_2000: Round-a-bouts are great!
