I've seen this happen more times than I can count which makes me think how many times it's happened when I'm not there to see it. I've seen this happen SO many times! Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to literally STOP in the middle of the rotary to let others in? Not to mention it's an inner and an outer lane, so if the car next to you in the other lane doesn't also stop to let the traffic in it's going to become a hot mess real quick. When you're in the middle of driving around the rotary, do NOT hit the brakes and stop halfway around to let other people in that are waiting at an intersecting street. Spoiler: Here's where my pet peeve comes into play. People that are currently on or in the circle have the right of way, while those sitting at an intersecting street have to wait their turn to pull into traffic. There is a certain flow to the way the rotary works. This means that it tends to be pretty busy all day long. Traffic is entering the busy roundabout from Memorial Bridge, Stone Street, Cony Street, Bangor Street and the other side of Cony Street on the hill.
There are lots of roads that merge onto Cony Circle in Augusta.
