    It looks like it’s only the Ferd Fteenthousand having trouble. I’m down for road infrastructure being hostile toward oversized vehicles.

    The main problem is the two power poles constraining the space, and the lack of council space from property boundaries.

    But a peanut shape will fix it. 90 seconds in MS paint. Civil engineering degree plz.

    There’s a similarly weird roundabout near me, we call the peanut, or the bean, and it works fine.

    It’s just like a regular roundabout undergoing mitosis

    The councillor, currently attending the Australian Local Government Conference in Canberra, said the issue has become a national embarrassment. “I’ve had every single councillor here in Australia rip into me about this roundabout,” he added.

        I figured it was designed that way so people don’t make that specific turn, meaning it wasn’t actually intended to be a full roundabout. But instead of bothering to pay for any sort of infrastructure in the middle to physically prevent it, they thought painting lines would be enough.

            They obviously didn’t either.

      10 out of 12. Does that count as a distinction or as a high distinction?

      It looks like a bugged out out roundabout in cities skylines. Maybe that’s how they designed it.

    Honestly, at this point just plonk down a few traffic lights and pretend it’s a normal intersection. At least assuming that center piece isn’t elevated.

      Judging by the way the cars drive over it I don’t think it is raised. There are probably hundreds or thousands of intersections like this around the country no one has ever though to add a diamond shaped roundabout to. Apparently the image below is a shot of the intersection before the diamondabout was added:

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
