Traffic circles should be only one lane. Problem solved.
Half the traffic at the circles is from outside the Villages folks that cut through the Villages to avoid the lights and traffic on the main highways. Maybe if they had single lane circles, that would slow them down and cause some to stop cutting through. ANother idea would be to put gates at the entrances to those roads from the main roads so that folks have to stop before entering. It would probably back up traffic for a while, but eventually it would be like Morse off of Rt466.
Just ideas to add to the discussion.
Mature adults (old people) take more time to process information that is happening around them, so circles are dangerous places. There is nothing routine about them.
