For those of you who think traffic lights are safer, how are the traffic lights at the intersections of Morse and 466, and Buena Vista and 466 working out? I hear about more accidents in those locations than I do in roundabouts.
Maybe it's because I'm from Massachusetts where roundabouts are common, but I don't see what the fuss is all about.

I'm from NJ and I'm not certain but I think the traffic light patterns are different down here. For example if I'm heading north on BV and plan to make a left on 466A I think the pattern up north is that there is a red light on the south bound lane that remains red until the north bound light changes to red.
Down here the south bound light turns green for a few seconds while the northbound light is green. I think.
So now I am on the lookout for cars heading south that may even speed up, trying to make the light. And if I'm heading south I slow down looking for cars that may speed up trying to cross in front of me. I never have any close calls.
I think that's not the same up north. I can't quite put my finger on it but there's something different with the order or timing of the lights.
