Description
Ever since the Winthrop Circle Rotary was most recently redone, drivers entering the rotary have been cutting off drivers already in the rotary. From most directions, there's no sign saying that this is a rotary or warning drivers to yield to traffic that's already in the rotary. There's also so much pavement there that it's hard to see where you should wait to enter the rotary, or where you should drive around the rotary. I've been driving through this rotary for years, and it didn't used to be such a problem. Now, driving through it at least twice a day, I am ALWAYS cut off by someone entering the rotary. Possible solutions: add signs, stripe the road, and reduce the amount of open pavement.

As mentioned in the original report, " There's ... so much pavement there that it's hard to see where you should wait to enter the rotary, or where you should drive around the rotary." It is really a free-for-all, with people not knowing who actually has right of way, trying to keep you eye on several vehicles at once. Signage, pavement markings (hopefully visible at night and in the rain/snow), and road architecture should be able to prevent this level of uncertainty and chaos. Please don't compound the problem with "Residents Only" signs.
