Traffic-wise. I was referring to the traffic circle itself, which like most of the circles in DC is nuts for anyone whether they're driving a car or walking or biking. I go out of my way to avoid them.

I've since learned that this particular collision happened outside the traffic circle at a nearby intersection. However it was at R and 20th Sts which is basically a 3-street intersection because it's very near where Connecticut Ave hits R St. And from what I'm reading it's a really bad place for a large vehicle like a garbage truck to try to make a right turn.

If only Pierre L'Enfant had stopped with a grid layout for DC's streets, it would have been much better. The traffic circles and diagonal avenues make things ugly.
