Traffic Circles

Say, how do you guys feel about traffic circles? I know I have made more than one trip around some of them, but I heard today that a traffic circle can handle a lot more cars than a four way stop…..Is that right?…Say you need to take a street to your immediate left at the circle, so you go 3/4 of the way around the traffic circle to make what would have been a left turn at a 4 way, right?  And circulating traffic has the right of way? No, entering traffic has the right of way?? Well, I surely don’t know who has the right of way, but I do know they are easier to get on than they are to get off, based on passed experience. Seems like it may be ok for a slow paced, laid back neighborhood, but a busy town? I don’t know about that… Texas has a bunch of them so some of you folks can sound off on these things if you will. Helping traffic along is good, so if a traffic circle will keep it moving,, then  maybe it is the way to go…What do you think? Four ways are ok until you tie, then it is confusion for some, for others a tie is their time to go.
