Our circles are very confusing and you never know what the other driver is doing or going to do.

These circles have no place here in TV. As circles go, they are too small and our residents are too old. If they don't have an accident, they cause one!
I absolutely agree, the roundabouts do not belong here and are dangerous.
If they insist on having circles, they should make the road to merge into one lane and just be ONE lane roundabouts. Sure it would slow traffic down, but that is better than having an accident.
