I say that as long as there is vehicle movement (not stopping) then the roundabout is BETTER than a RED light. And we would have less accidents with my proposal. AND since we are most all retired we should be able to mentally handle a slow and safe roundabout EXPERIENCE. People know HOW to MERGE, but a 2-lane roundabout is FOREIGN AND AWKWARD to new arrivals.
I think that this is the first time I have ever agreed with you.
