Don’t throw your hands up and say, oh, if you can no longer drive in this particular way, move!
Perhaps one can expand the number of lanes (our property taxes went up for a reason) or try to decentralize Lake Sumter Landing and any other place of congestion. But just blaming it on the inevitable is not going to help, in my opinion.

Or one can wait until the end of March when the population drops markedly in all of Florida.
The roundabouts have been here for more than a dozen years, as long as we have and have had RELATIVELY few accidents. Once mastered they do ease and facilitate the flow of traffic.
Change doesn't happen by popular demand or even unpopular demand in a CDD.
And to me, that is a good thing.
P.S. I am going now to look up "organic response".
