Seems like every small town in Texas used to be centered around the town square, and many of them were nothing more than a squared off traffic circle, complete with yield signs and one-way traffic.

Towns in Texas still have court house squares they are not busy most of the time and people are shopping not driving ,thru traffic is on one end of the squares not round and round I only traveled to 1 town that had a intersection in the middle of the square

I went to college in Denton and I remember using the town square regularly as a way to get through town. Back then many of the streets near the square were one-way and the only convenient way to some of them was by going around the square.

As a native Texan I remember in the small towns they would have framers' markets on the square and street dances on holidays, they still do in the small towns in central Texas,The squares were like a park where people hung out
