While the PAL-V Liberty is commonly associated with private use, it also serves as a versatile tool for numerous professionals, offering them the flexibility to choose between flying and driving to their destinations at their convenience. Many professionals grapple with significant inefficiencies and limitations when transitioning between locations. Often, the most efficient routes are impeded by natural barriers or inadequate infrastructure. Companies like PRIMUS AERO, operating in mountainous terrains, gain significant benefits from the capability to literally glide over mountains, allowing them to uncover the most efficient route to their destination.

Traveling through a single-lane roundabout is a breeze! And while we all think we have it down, let's review the basics to be sure.
When approaching a single-lane roundabout:
1. Slow Down: As you approach a roundabout, slow down (a common, advisory entry speed is 15 mph) and be prepared to yield or even stop before entering.
2. Look: Look left and YIELD to traffic that is already in the roundabout and coming your way.
3. Scan: Scan for pedestrians and bicyclists in crosswalks (on entry AND exit) and ALWAYS yield to them.
4. Signal: Yes, drivers need to signal their intention to exit a roundabout. Do so immediately before exiting.
Go slow and go with the flow and you'll be on your merry way! Want tips on traveling through a multi-lane roundabout? Stay tuned.

An article and paper that needs some digesting. Fair to say we have a bit of an issue with the push to put cycle facilities on every arterial/main road with inherent conflicts, spatial constraints and junction delays. I'm not convinced this approach always gives the best routes for those riding for a variety of reasons. Getting better data on route choice is needed.

Tech Tip Tuesday: Mastering Roundabouts for Safer and Smoother Journeys
This Tech Tip Tuesday, we're circling around the topic of navigating roundabouts, an increasingly common feature in road networks worldwide. Roundabouts are designed to improve traffic flow and reduce accidents compared to traditional intersections. Here's how to navigate them efficiently and safely:
1. Approach with Caution: Slow down as you approach the roundabout. The posted signs will help you understand the layout, and which exit you need to take. Yield to pedestrians and cyclists at the crosswalks.
2. Yield to Traffic Inside the Roundabout: Vehicles already circulating inside the roundabout have the right of way. Only enter when there is a safe gap in traffic. Remember, in a roundabout, traffic moves counterclockwise.
3. Choose the Correct Lane: If there are multiple lanes, use the rightmost lane to turn right, the left lane to turn left, and any lane to go straight, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise. Make sure to signal your intentions to other drivers.
4. Maintain a Steady Speed: Keep a consistent speed within the roundabout. This helps with the flow of traffic and prevents accidents. Avoid stopping inside the roundabout, except to avoid a collision.
5. Exiting the Roundabout: Signal right as you approach your exit. This lets other drivers know your intention and helps with traffic flow. Once you exit, make sure to yield to any pedestrians and cyclists crossing the exit.
