Re: Four-way roundabout junction (hopefully deadlock-free)

Thank you for the advice, that's indeed a lot better like that. Chain signals keep amazing me. My junction is quite overkill, I have to agree, but I'd like to point out it should also improve the concurrent use of the roundabout for left turns, not just U-turns.

I then upgraded to a new version which I'm sharing with you here. It's quite compact, enables U-turns and should be effi...
