Hell Rotaries of Massachusetts

New England is unusual for the United States in that a lot of road interchanges here are rotaries (aka traffic circles, roundabouts, etc.) They're almost as common here as in the UK (though they circulate the other way), and people from other parts of the US are often frightened and confused by them, especially if they don't know that you're supposed to yield to circulating traffic while entering the rotary. But after a while, you get used to them.

Some of them, however, are particularly horrible, and modern technology makes it possible for people all over the world to observe their shame in pictures. Therefore, forthwith, some of my least favorite Hell Rotaries of Massachusetts:

Magic roundabouts

...But I should not be overly proud of our rotaries; in the UK, they are way ahead of us, and have these.

Roads

Boy, this guy's site has a lot of pages about Boston-area roads, with lots of pictures of rotted and confusing signs. I particularly like the page displaying mid-Big Dig chaos around Leverett Circle. (I wonder if people will continue talking about Leverett Circle given that it is a mostly theoretical construct these days. There's a Leverett Circle Connector but there is not really a whole circle. Then again, people still talk about squares where there never was any square, so maybe they will.)
