And certainly more than just a straight one.

It's a new path.

A new direction.

It's Study 17-

It's awesome.

Thanks.

It's also a gridlock nightmare waiting to happen.  Is this from a real bridge?
No, there isn't a bridge like this in my area.  The idea came from the movie
"Chronicles of Riddick" of all places.  There was a building, four sided but
walls curved inward and with open court in the middle.  When I saw that building
I thought "WOW! That's it!" (just make it three sided instead of four).

All 3 directions have stop signs.  And all 3 cross in front of another stop
sign.  So if there is enough traffic, everything will grind to a hault because
nobody can move.  :]

On the signs, I was considering (seriously!) using "yield" instead of "stop".  I
think the only reason why I picked to use "stop" was because they cost less.  I
was also considering (again seriously!) placing three stop signs at all three
intersections (9 signs) but thought that was a bit overkilling it.

But awesome MOC!
