We lived in the greater Ft. Lauderdale area for many years
and the traffic does flow there, without any circles whatsoever.
Many of the traffic lights are either programmed by time
or by sensors in the street.
The wait is never long enough to get annoyed,
even during rush hour.
The circles are not efficient.
We have to slow or stop at each circle
because most of the population doesn't
know how to navigate them and
that will never change.
The circles are also gas guzzlers.
We would not need many traffic lights on Morse and Buena Vista --
possibly another 2 or so, in addition to the existing
ones at 466 and 466A.
That's what would be efficient, however
you can stay happy because nothing will ever change !
