Comment on Could you stay in the roundabout indefinitely?
ekky@sopuli.xyz 3 months agoDepending on the definition, you’re not obscuring traffic if you’re driving 60kmh in the fastlane either, or if only you manage to get over the green light because of your tardiness, as traffic is still flowing, just very, very slow.
Either way, you’ll be slowing down traffic and get in the way of other drivers, unless you are the only person on the road.

The point of a roundabout is specifically that one must not stop, that is their design. A circle of perpetual motion. Certainly stopping in a roundabout would qualify as obstruction. I do not see how, even on a crowded day, making more than two passes in a roundabout while remaining in motion qualifies as “obstruction.”

You know to get on a roundabout they can’t just phase through your car? If you don’t exit in a timely manner you’re taking up space people need to get into the roundabout and let it work. So staying is obstructing traffic.
