In Iceland they have many roundabouts all over, and at most low residential intersections there's simply a yield for one of the intersecting roads. Having a yield instead of having to come to a stop is so refreshing.

You are also required to have your lights on when you are driving. It notably increases visibility even during the day.

I came back to the US really wishing those policies would go into effect nationwide.




Yes I would love to see the elimination of the four-way stop intersection. One road should be designated as the "arterial" road and should not stop. The crossing road should yield. There are very few cases where a four-way stop is justified.
