Wow. You want to see massive backups and delays, just implement both of these “solutions” in The Villages.

There have been many traffic studies done comparing signalized intersections and roundabouts. Roundabouts win almost every time, when traffic and other variables are properly considered. Roundabouts fit The Villages just fine.
