I disagree that it is the speeders who are the cause of the traffic circle problem. The problem comes from the people who enter the circle from the right lane (typically not the lane used by "speeders"). They then proceed to take the right, outermost lane in the circle but, rather than go right at the first or second exits (i.e., take a right turn or continue straight on the roadway), they continue around the circle in the outer lane. By doing this they then cut off any driver who entered the circle from the left lane and wants to proceed straight by using the inner circle. If either person had been speeding, it is most likely the one in the left lane, yet the person in the right lane is the one who is at fault for not using the circle properly.

I'll repeat what I said previously. If you want to make a major improvement in the safety of our roadways, you would divert some of the police attention to speeders and concentrate on the people who don't follow the rules in the circles. If, as you say, it is the speeders who are most likely the cause for traffic circle accidents (which I seriously doubt), then you will have killed two birds with one stone.
