Reducing each circle to one lane would help, doesn't seem that we get that much traffic that we couldn't manage.
My sentiments, exactly. I have said it before and I'll say it again, The Villages is no place for 2-lane roundabouts......too many old people with tunnel vision, not to mention poor vision, necks that don't turn so they can see who is beside them, a likely large percentage of them in the early stages of dementia. As many as 11% of people at age 65 have dementia and that number climbs to 25%-45% heading toward age 85......pretty scary to know that one in five people (or more) in a roundabout at any given time may not even know where they are. A retirement community is no place for roundabouts unless they are one lane. |
As for roundabouts with dementia driven vehicles. it was just last week when I...... Wait, What were we talking about ? Nevermind, Happy New Year *LOL*
