Yes you must be alert. You need to scan your mirrors , follow the basic rules and use common sense.

Intersections waste massive amounts of fuel, make serious high speed head on and Tbone collisions possible .

I vote for the circles
Me too,,, and as far as your eyes darting around to make sure some idiot isn't going to slam into you when they are in the wrong,,, that's the way it is in big city driving. You always must be alert and on the defensive and anticipate what the next guy will be doing.

We all know that many people do not know what the word "Yield" means, so if they don't, I do and I slow down for them. Big deal... Better than a fender bender.

I think traffic lights and stop signs are not necessarily the answer, look how many accidents we have on the corner of Morse and 466A. It goes on and on.....

Roundabouts are so much more attractive with all the flowers and foliage than having a huge ugly traffic light or 4 way stop sign that no one understands how to get through.
