If the map showing the location you are referring to is correct (since you didn't indicate a specific location in your comment), there is a roundabout at this intersection, so no signal is needed.
There's a round about there and if it's the street coming out of the neighborhood, then you pay for a traffic light. The problem with the round about is people are too stupid to use them.
Dave, I agree with you (a little bit), but a fair majority of roundabout users who are more familiar with a specific one tend to race through them at maximum possible speed with no regard to the cautiously approaching, less familiar users. I, myself, am getting used to them, but the angst of impatient drivers darting out between unsafe gaps is a major concern of many. people drive like bullies.
Not sure what there is to get use to with a roundabout? You drive up to it and if there are no cars coming from your right you keep going. If there are cars coming you yield for them. You think people drive like bullies because they can't stand being stuck behind people who just don't know how to drive. Driving is common sense and isn't that hard, but people do everything but drive when they are in their cars and they also don't know the laws. Drives me nuts that people are clueless when it comes to the motor vehicle code.
Hose Head, perhaps you're one of those unsafe roundabout users who darts out into those unsafe gaps I spoke of, because the traffic you should be yielding to is coming from your left - not your right. lol
