About Me
- Dan Allen
- Blue Bell Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
- Dan Allen lives in Philadelphia's Blue Bell Hill neighborhood. He eats a lot of cheese, drinks a lot of beer, and thinks that you should too. He also loves to write and talk about these and other things pertaining to good food and drink. As much as possible, he follows a locavore life style, meaning that most of what he eats, drinks, and writes about is local to Philadelphia and environs. (By the way, he tends to go on and on about all this, so unless you have a lot of time on your hands, it's best that you not get him started.)

Traffic circles are really a godsend and should still be used in city planning but they are seldom used these days. Planners would rather have four stop signs or stop lights and make people idle engines and burn expensive gasoline.
By the way, Ineke said..., in response to my asking her that a gallon of gasoline would cost $8.65 where she lives in Rotterdam. That makes traffic stops even more expensive to idle.
So yeah for traffic circles. We got an old one in Greenville, Ohio.
That's a neat idea you have with the google map to accompany a photo, I might have to steal it sometime ;)
We have no roundabouts that I'm aware of in Minnesota. I've only seen one in Wisconsin. Nobody understands them and they try to stop!
