First, fuck cars.

Second, why wouldn’t a traffic circle about the same size work? I’ve seen massive ones overseas that do a damn good job at moderating traffic for heavy flow intersections like this one.

Third, I only watched about a minute in to the video, so maybe he says something about circles later.

He talks about the intersection a lot, but the main problem with this intersection has nothing to do with the intersection itself. It's the surrounding area that backs up into and causes it to fail.

No chance it would be chaos. Too many lanes to change.

Even if you did something like that you would have traffic going straight through the roundabout on the main street and traffic going around for everything else.

But with that many lanes it wouldn't be designed like that I dont think. Would be branched off before it.
