Yep, depending upon which bike I'm riding I drag my boots or foot boards around these some times, 
let me repeat .

- June 28, 2013, 18:07:53 PMI know what you mean. They are building these things all over. Sprouting like mushrooms. Sometimes they will string 3 or 4 together...This one is very lightly used, so there is almost always a chance to drag pegs around it. When it first opened, the Police got called several times in the early morning hours, cause the Hmong kids with their fart can equipped Honda civics were trying to "drift" around it...I used to pass through a real one...Croton-on-Hudson traffic circle..just north of N.Y.C. on the Hudson River...about 1/2 mile across, handling upwards of 50,000 vehicles a day...These are just too small and poorly designed.

- June 28, 2013, 16:30:01 PM I absolutely hate these things, but they can be made to be fun. The suggested speed is 15 mph. I did this one at about 30...now here's the thing...white signs are regulatory...i.e. the 25 mph sign at the exit of the circle is binding...yellow signs are suggested, or informational. The last regulatory sign before the circle is 45 mph...ergo, the actual "limit" through the circle is 45 (I did 40 here on the W last Summer).
