Sometimes I think that when people are retired and have too much time on their hands they sit around and imagine problems that don't exist.
I agree with Kitty. Let's get some hard data on the number and frequency of accidents. It would be nice to have a study done to show whether or not the roundabouts are clogging up streets and slowing down traffic.
Frankly I don't see either of these, but if you're interested go and see how these kinds of studies can be done.
Gimme data, Dr. B, which exits do you use that are in effect a 270 degree turn?
Asking because you have no problem doing it and don't see accidents. Let's compare with the infamous St. James.
