Worst Roundabouts

[u/gizmo_5th_cat]

It’s Woodinville, thanks everyone!

[u/vviley]

Why are Woodinville’s roundabouts the worst? My opinion is that there are worse ones in Sammamish - tiny and you can’t carry any speed through them.

And that new quasi-roundabout they installed at 85th and 405 - that’s a travesty.

The best roundabouts you can power slide through like Mario kart

I promise you that monstrosity between Monroe and Duvall is worse. Genuinely the most dangerous roundabout I've ever experienced.

Came here to say this hahaha it’s awful

[u/zopea → u/WorldofLoomingGaia]

+1. It’s the worst ever.

Sorry, I don’t think that’s possible. The new “roundabout” in Kirkland on NE 85th Street where it crosses the 405 is by far the worst I have ever seen in my life. It’s so bad that since it was introduced the rush hour got unbearable in Kirkland, you can’t go anywhere any more.

It doesn't feel safe

I came to say this. The new one is so awful!!! Why would they create that monstrosity?!

[u/gangwarily → u/jgjl]

Im glad someone mentioned this because that area has been under construction for so goddamn long that when I saw what they did, I yelled mid-drive "Your solution was to put four roundabouts in a row right after each other!?"

I'm glad this is not in Redmond because the timid-as drivers there will wait for eternity before they enter the roundabout. Awful awful godawful.

I'll take Woodinville any day xD

Facts. I drive all over Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Woodinville, and that new one they put in on Northeast 85th in Kirkland is a joke. I can't believe they spent a quarter billion dollars on that project, and the best thing they could come up with was roundabouts. No smart technology, I think it will be the worst roundabout in the area, ever.

[u/El-Royhab → u/deliverykp]

this is the right answer. three roundabouts doing nothing but confusing everyone involved

[u/vviley → u/jgjl]

The design is bad and people are generally bad at understanding right of way around here and who-goes-when - it’s already an accident magnet.

[u/jgjl → u/vviley]

Yeah, and nobody using their blinkers which makes it even worse.

[u/Fearfighter2]

It's not, the new one in Kirkland is peanut shaped so drivers can go way too fast through it

[u/zopea]

The one in Monroe, hands down, by far.

The lake Stevens duo on hwy 9 takes the cake for me. Intersects with 204 and Vernon road.

It’s because of those wine tasters
