It amazes me when people call the roundabouts dangerous. Just think about where all the serious accidents have occurred in the last several years. At Morse and 466, Morse and 466A, Buena Vista and 466, Buena Vista and 466A. Yet people want to add more similar intersections and reconfigure Morse and Buena Vista to make them into major thoroughfares. I can't recall a serious accident in a roundabout. Fender bender, yes. Life threatening, no.
The roundabouts serve their purpose well. They allow entrance and egress from villages in either direction. It's like blaming the car for an accident when it's really the nut behind the wheel.
