The what?

Pulaski

Some Rogue SUV-like offering from Nissan.

I worked that much out. Still trying to work out the pronunciation.

Pulaski

I can't think of any circumstance under which I would need to know.

Qashqai , japanese for cashcow maybe?

For all you old hacks who haven't returned to Blighty recently, these cheapo versions of the Chelsea tractor are everywhere

Horrid things

Pulaski

The Qashqai is joke on the part of Nissan? ..... Oh, no, the Nissan Joke is a different vehicle.

Here's traffic on Meskel Square, the busiest intersection in Addis Ababa. No traffic lights, no lines, no cops controlling. And it works!

SultanOfSwing

Just like the motorbikes in Hanoi.

That's oddly mesmerizing though, isn't it?

Pulaski

It requires a degree of mutual respect and social responsibility, not to mention focus and concentration on the responsibility of driving, that is non too common in the US. ...... That said, I have occasionally encountered major cross roads in the US of four and six lane roads, that seem to function remarkably well when the traffic lights fail. More roundabouts is the answer!

It is a pity that the video was speeded up, presumably for "dramatic effect". I guess that it is running at about double speed, based on the pedestrians in the top right of the screen.

Some of those cars seem to be slowing down.

Some are doing that "giving way" thing. What are they doing that for? That wont catch on.

FlaviusAetius

Won't happen here. Not the Myrkyn Way.

Nutek

At least they aren't signaling.

SultanOfSwing

It would never work here. Some arsehole always ruins it for everyone else by charging through an intersection with no regard for who had the right of way.

Agreed. Every 4-way stop in our area that has been replaced with a roundabout has seen a marked improvement. The one I use most often is like night and day.
