1. How fast can traffic move through a large Massachusetts rotary, compared to a roundabout?

Why: Both a Massachusetts rotary and a roundabout carry traffic counter-clockwise, but a large rotary can be designed to handle speeds up to 40 mph, while a roundabout's smaller size means drivers must slow to 25 mph or less.

2. How much clear road must a Massachusetts driver see ahead before crossing into the oncoming lane to pass?

Why: Massachusetts requires at least 400 feet of clear visibility before crossing into the oncoming lane to pass, and requires returning to the right lane before an oncoming vehicle comes within 200 feet.
