Do they not have a "don't block the box" type of law there? Being within the intersection like that seems crazy to me
Sometimes you just need to be the reason for the safety meeting
Seems they do. That's what the yellow markings on the road are for.
Oh buddy, traffic laws in Brazil are light suggestions not really enforced. Red lights? Just drive through, don't stop. Roundabout? Just drive straight through they're just painted circles on the road, silly. One way street? Who's gonna stop me? Roads usually flow like you see in SE Asia where its like a flowing stream of motorcycles, except there's a lot more VW Gol's and Fiat Uno's. Even the Civil and Military police don't give a shit and drive like everyone else. Just don't get caught speeding on a speed camera or you will get a ticket for going .1 KPH over the limit.
Check out the whole line of cars that could be getting through right-to-left, but there are two jerkwads who insist on not moving their car a foot or two apart to open up the little space and let them proceed.
Turns out the real America was in the hearts of the world this entire time
Well, still on the American continent at least.
There are modern roundabouts and then there are rotary intersections. Modern roundabouts have traffic entering the circle yield to traffic already within it, while rotary intersections have traffic within the circle yield to traffic entering. That makes rotaries, but not modern roundabouts, susceptible to locking up like this.
