My second favorite is when a rotary feeds into a very busy intersection with traffic lights, causing the rotary to back up and be unuseable for those going in other directions (looking at you, Medford High St/Winthrop St rotary).

Also Alewife Brook Parkway x Concord Ave with its two rotaries and one road that sees heavy use.

Godspeed to anyone who goes through there at rush hour. A civil engineers worst nightmare

Fun fact, the route 16/route 2 lights right before those two rotaries ALSO used to be a rotary.

The rotary behind Wonderland station in Revere worked great for many years. Then they added a light at the station. And forevermore it's a clusterfuck to get through during rush hour. I've literally spent 15+ minutes trying to get through that rotary, multiple times.

I'm glad I don't live there anymore...
