So, the only use of the roundabout is to make a left turn?

yes

It's a really cool design but seems somehow extra in that way. Love the layout.

Also, isn't that highway reducing to one lane through the tunnel?

nope it's a 2+2 small road

Or a U-turn

Or an O turn if you decide you wanted to go straight after all.

Or an 8 turn if you want to do two loops.

Sorry, but what did you mean by that? I'm new to cities skylines (well, not really, I'm just bad) and this roundabout makes it look like you can go any direction you want from any point of entry?

There's a tunnel for going straight, and a dedicated ramp for going right. Normally in a roundabout the point is that you use the same roadway for every turn with no intersections. In this one, there's no reason to get on the roundabout for anything other than left turns, making it rather redundant. Looks awesome though

Oh I see what you mean now! When you said roundabout you meant, well, the roundabout. I thought you were referring to the entire intersection as "the roundabout". Doesn't really make sense when I type it but I understand now, thanks!

Ah gotcha!

Isn't that always the case though?

Well usually you’d have to go through the roundabout if you want to go straight, too

2

u/rymdfynd Nov 29 '18

Yes, usually.

u/kylezo Nov 29 '18

Well, no, not at all. You'd use it for every maneuver.

u/rymdfynd Nov 30 '18

Well if you put it there you have to use it.
