Cyndy,
I'm learning as much as I can. There is abundant research yet to tap nationally. Haven't had time to talk to the sumter co. dept of transportation, who I hope will know more than anyone, and of especial interest, the ambiguous, and weird significance of dotted lines that don't universally mean the driver may cross at will.

If something needs to change with roundabouts, let's back it up with data. So far, all research I find, even internationally, granted it's highly technical and contains formulas I don't understand, but the data supports roundabouts as a safer option than stops and highly recommended trend.

but something is missing when there are numerous accidents here, no one agrees on rules, deputies throw up their hands, the regulations to not change lanes conflict with the resident lane designation...I'm not done, Bogie.
