The answer to the roundabout critics lies in drivers driving the "engineered" speed and following the very well done traffic signs. Dumbing down is not the way to go.
Lots of people suggest one-lane roundabouts. Can you imagine the angst of merging two lanes of traffic into one lane roundabouts? Many studies have been performed by transit engineers that demonstrate traffic circles as the fastest method for transiting intersections. Traffic lights are next with four-way stops dead last.

Thanks.....nice "just for fun" post.
But now all the critics will be reposting the same things that they posted on the two latest roundabout threads.................my God it never stops!
