Traffic Circle

I drive an 18 wheeler and have been through both the Meredith and Keene round-abouts, with no problem.

The trick is to view the "road" of the circle as "cobble stone " (inner circle) and hot-top (outer circle)

I'll admit, the first time I went through either, it takes adjustment to what is usually the norm.

At the Meredith circle, a driver of a big truck needs to realize that the steers wheels have to be on the outer circle while maneuvering the rear tandems towards the "cobble" stones.

Most four-wheelers avoid the "cobble" stone circle through instinct, not observation!
