Hype for the Future 50IND: The Indianapolis Area, Explained
Introduction Indianapolis serves in the present day as the capital and largest city of the State of Indiana, located relatively centrally within the State. While Sheridan in Hamilton County is the community closest to the true geographic center of the State of Indiana, the community remains firmly connected to the Indianapolis area, even if the local culture is more exurban and occasionally even rurally coded.

American and Canadian Cities with the Most Roundabouts – UPDATE #2
Guest post by Dan T. – Thank you, Dan!
[Note: To most people, the terms traffic circle, rotary, and roundabout are synonyms, but not to traffic engineers. Engineers usetraffic circle as a generic term for all circular intersections, while rotaries and roundabouts (sometimes modern roundabouts) are subsets that have specific features as discussed in the article. This article will use the traffic engineers’ definitions.]
Roundabout in Carmel, IN – Source: eri.iu.eduTraffic engineers love roundabouts. These circular intersections do several things to make traffic better. They cause drivers to slow down, but without forcing them to a complete stop, at least not all the time. They reduce the number of conflict points in an intersection. And where those conflict points do occur, the traffic is intersecting at a shallow angle, rather than a right angle as at traditional intersections. All these drastically reduce the number of serious accidents where injuries or fatalities result.
Circular intersections have a long history. For example, Columbus Circle (which is by no means the first one) in New York was first formed about 1870, although it didn’t get its name until the 1890s when the statue of Columbus was erected. In those horse-and-buggy days, people went around the circle both directions. In 1905, William Phelps Eno, a proto-traffic
engineer, suggested that all the traffic in Columbus Circle should go around the same direction. This was a step towards the modern roundabout, but there were more steps to be made. (Columbus Circle, by the way, is classified by traffic engineers as a signalized traffic
circle and not a roundabout. Modern roundabouts do not have signals.)
The earliest traffic circles had the legs meeting the circle at right angle intersections. They also often had parking allowed along the circular road and allowed pedestrians to access the central island. Some even had buildings in the center. These features didn’t do much to
improve traffic, so during the 1930s, the rotary was developed.
Rotaries are large (some as much as 600 feet across) and initially had no traffic controls. The nearside priority rule, where drivers yield to a vehicle coming from the right, was the most common rule. This meant that vehicles within the circle had to yield to incoming vehicles. Under heavy traffic, this resulted in gridlock. When traffic control signage was installed, they were often designed to speed traffic between two of the legs. Those two approaches had no stop or yield signs as they entered, the traffic already in the circle had to yield to them. Again, gridlock would occur under heavy traffic loads.
Source: co.washington.mn.usThe incoming lanes of rotatries were angled so they met the circle at close to a perfect tangent, but then the incoming vehicles would have to change lanes to get in the circle. The traffic would not be expected to slow down at all, but then have to change lanes again to exit. The high speeds (as much as 40 mph) and lane changes tended to cause serious
accidents. Because of the gridlock and high accident rate, rotaries lost favor in the US in the mid-1950s.
The modern roundabout was developed in Britain in 1966 by Frank Blackmore. The big improvement was that the traffic already in the circle always gets the right-of-way (offside priority rule) and anyone trying to enter it should yield to them. They also are smaller and
require drivers to slow down. Further refinements have been made over the years: the shape of the splitter islands was optimized to angle the incoming traffic in the right direction while still giving drivers a good view of the traffic they must yield to, truck aprons provide for
large vehicles to use them, and subtle curves in the incoming lanes as well as the final curve at the splitter island slow the incoming traffic.
The UK and western Europe in general quickly adopted modern roundabouts and now there’s well in excess of 100,000 there. The US and Canada were slow to adopt the modern roundabout. Traffic circles still had the bad reputation, so even the improved version from Britain was not looked on favorably. The first two modern roundabouts in the US were not built until 1990. Those two were in Summerlin, Nevada, a planned community in Las Vegas. Following that, there was a very slow adoption in the rest of the country. By the turn of the century, there were still only a couple hundred in the entire US. They started to take off in the oughts to the point where there are now about 8,000 with 450 to 500 new ones being built every year.
The following list is based on an extensive database of circular intersections maintained by Kittelson and Associates, an engineering firm based in Portland OR (see the link at the end of the article). The entries in the database are divided into five categories: Roundabouts,
Rotaries, Traffic Calming Circles, Signalized Circles, and Other. The counts in the lists below are only of Roundabouts, and not of the other categories.
[Note: Kittelson doesn’t make any money from hosting the database and all the entries are contributed by volunteers. If you know of a roundabout not in the database, feel free to submit it for inclusion.]
Source: carmel.in.govThe city with the most roundabouts (possibly the most in the entire world) is Carmel, Indiana, a suburb of Indianapolis. In the late 1990s, their mayor, James Brainard, who’d learned of them at school in England, started pushing the city to replace all of its traffic lights with roundabouts. The Kittelson database contains all of them, but some are classified as Other for various reasons. Several allow pedestrian access to the central island, some do not have splitter islands, one has parking along the circular roadway. The counts in this list are only of those classified as Roundabouts in the database.
Canada similarly got off to a slow start in building modern roundabouts.The first was built in Montreal in 1998. But they also took off in the oughts (2000-2009) and now there’s over 1000 in the entire country, with 60 or 70 new ones every year.
[Note: When submitting a new roundabout to the Kittelson database, the city name provided by the software is actually the name of the post office that serves where the roundabout is. While that can be changed by the submitter, it usually is not. What this means is that many cities get credit for roundabouts outside their city limits. Unfortunately there’s no simple way to fix this, so the city counts above are not perfectly accurate.]

It's very big and very authentic. If you live anywhere close by, give it a try. But only go if you're not allergic to roundabouts. Carmel has about 150 of them, more than any other city in the US.
Novena to St. John of the Cross, Day 9: All things are forgotten
Scripture
Lord, I have given up my pride
and turned away from my arrogance.
I am not concerned with great matters
or with subjects too difficult for me.
Instead, I am content and at peace.
As a child lies quietly in its mother’s arms,
so my heart is quiet within me.
Israel, trust in the Lord
now and forever!
(Psalm 131)
Reading
The soul is incapable of truly acquiring control of the passions and restriction of the inordinate appetites without forgetting and withdrawing from the sources of these emotions. Disturbances never arise in a soul unless through the apprehensions of the memory. When all things are forgotten, nothing disturbs the peace or stirs the appetites. As the saying goes: What the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t want.
The Ascent of Mount Carmel: Book Three, Chapter 5
Prayer
O St. John of the Cross
You were endowed by our Lord with the spirit of self-denial
and a love of the cross.
Obtain for us the grace to follow your example
that we may come to the eternal vision of the glory of God.
O Saint of Christ’s redeeming cross
the road of life is dark and long.
Teach us always to be resigned to God’s holy will
in all the circumstances of our lives
and grant us the special favor
which we now ask of thee.
Mention your request
Above all, obtain for us the grace of final perseverance,
a holy and happy death and everlasting life with you
and all the saints in heaven.
Amen.
Let’s continue in prayer…

Novena to St. John of the Cross, Day 8: Inspired with love
Scripture
O True God, You are my God, the One whom I trust.
I seek You with every fiber of my being.
In this dry and weary land with no water in sight,
my soul is dry and longs for You.
My body aches for You, for Your presence.
I have seen You in Your sanctuary
and have been awed by Your power and glory.
Your steadfast love is better than life itself,
so my lips will give You all my praise.
I will bless You with every breath of my life;
I will lift up my hands in praise to Your name.
My soul overflows with satisfaction, as when I feast on foods rich in marrow and fat;
with excitement in my heart and joy on my lips, I offer You praise.
Often at night I lie in bed and remember You,
meditating on Your greatness till morning smiles through my window.
You have been my constant helper;
therefore, I sing for joy under the protection of Your wings.
My soul clings to You;
Your right hand reaches down and holds me up.
(Ps. 63:1-8)
Reading
The soul here addresses its Bridegroom with deep love, esteeming him and thanking him for two admirable effects sometimes produced by him through this union… The first effect is an awakening of God in the soul, brought about in gentleness and love. The second is the breathing of God within it… And what overflows in it is its being tenderly and delicately inspired with love.

Novena to St. John of the Cross, Day 7: Surrender
Scripture
I ask God from the wealth of his glory to give you power through his Spirit to be strong in your inner selves, and I pray that Christ will make his home in your hearts through faith. I pray that you may have your roots and foundation in love, so that you, together with all God’s people, may have the power to understand how broad and long, how high and deep, is Christ’s love. Yes, may you come to know his love—although it can never be fully known—and so be completely filled with the very nature of God.
(Ephesians 3:16-19)
Reading
This spiritual marriage is incomparably greater than the spiritual betrothal, for it is a total transformation in the Beloved, in which each surrenders the entire possession of self to the other with a certain consummation of the union of love. The soul thereby becomes divine, God through participation, insofar as is possible in this life. And thus I think that this state never occurs without the soul’s being confirmed in grace, for the faith of both is confirmed when God’s faith in the soul is here confirmed. It is accordingly the highest state attainable in this life.

Novena to St. John of the Cross, Day 6: Guided through the dark night
Scripture
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
I trust you, let me not be disappointed;
do not let my enemies triumph.
Those who hope in you shall not be disappointed,
but only those who wantonly break faith.
Lord, make me know your ways.
Lord, teach me your paths.
Make me walk in your truth, and teach me:
for you are God my savior.
In you I hope all day long
because of your goodness, O Lord.
Remember your mercy, Lord,
and the love you have shown from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth.
In your love remember me.
(Psalm 25:1-7)
Reading
A soul ordinarily needs instruction pertinent to its experience in order to be guided through the dark night to spiritual denudation and poverty. Without this instruction a person, even without wanting such things, would unknowingly become hardened in the way of the spirit and habituated to that of the senses, in which these communications are partly experienced. The spiritual father should instead proceed with much kindness and calm.

Novena to St. John of the Cross, Day 5: Supreme goodness
Scripture
And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour your father and mother.’” And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.” When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. Jesus, seeing that he had become sad, said, “How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” But he said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.” And Peter said, “See, we have left our homes and followed you.” And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.”
(Luke 18:18-30)
Reading
Compared to the infinite goodness of God, all the goodness of the creatures of the world can be called wickedness. Nothing is good save God only [Lk. 18:19]. Those who set their hearts on the good things of the world become extremely wicked in the sight of God. Since wickedness does not comprehend goodness, such persons will be incapable of union with God, who is supreme goodness.
