NAM Suggestion: Rotaries (not roundabouts)

[melinuxfool 1]

I was wondering if that might be a possible addition in the future of the NAM. With three or more lanes maybe? The avenue roundabouts are pretty close to a rotary, but still seem, as I look at the city zoomed out, to be a bit small. What we know as a rotary in New England is usually a lot bigger than what are known as roundabouts. Some of them can be a half a mile in diameter. Avenue roundabouts are 4x4, but probably a rotary would be 8x8.

Maybe there is already a way I could draw this out, and if there is, how would I do it

Well the avenue roundabout is a new NAM item.  Before that all there was were the road, street, and one way roundabouts.

Before the avenue roundabout's release, a size had to be decided.  (4x4, 6x6 or 8x8).  A 4x4 was agreed upon because it would best fit an urban setting and could fit in place easier than the larger ones in existing cities.

you can check out the NAM boards for some more information.  An older avenue roundabouts development thread may answer some questions as well.  Here is the link:

melinuxfool: The new NAM also features 45 and 90 degree "soft turns" that can be arranged to form a circle. The only downside is that intersections can't be at an angle.
