mr.paul ... i am half agree with what you said. But doha population grows really fast. With all the extra vehicles on only a few kilometers of roads roundabout will take you forever to go through when the traffic busy. And also it is like doing russian roullete (spelling?) trying to cross the roundabout. If you wait too long, like 5 seconds or more!!! then you are intimidated by the others behind who think you should pull out when not safe to do so.

 

there were some notoriuous roundabout in Doha that i am glad they have convert it to traffic light. Maybe some oldies remember 'smelly R/A', 'Al Saad R/A', 'Crazy R/A','Mall R/A','Sports R/A'.
