Traffic circles, likely, cost less than red lights and don't break down as much. Another advantage of a continuous slow flow of traffic is that start and stop traffic means momentum starting and stopping - which would use more fuel, cause more pollution, and may (?) cause more driver frustration and therefore accidents. Another advantage is that the circles make TV Land look like a peaceful, idealic, small town. And flowers are prettier than red lights.
