Did you have all these circles where you came from? No! No one did.
You had traffic lights and stop signs.
Were they a problem?
I'm sure not, with perhaps an issue or two here and there which could happen anywhere.
The truth of the matter is that the circles are a nightmare.
They do not control traffic; they only confuse and intimidate most driveers.
No one knows how to drive around them.
So why would stop signs be so terrible here when stop signs are what everyone that lives here is used to and probably what they grew up with their entire life.
Huh?

HELLO !! Everyone posting on this thread is saying how dangerous stop signs are.
If you get rid of the circles and wanted to go in the opposite direction, one would have to turn right and go to the next traffic light and make a u turn...of course there would have to be another lane for turning,,, making BV or Morse a 3 lane each side. People would still try to run the light or perhaps drive across 6 lanes of traffic. But of course, you are the expert.
People need more education on the circles....homeowners need to leave very detailed instructions for renters. Daily Sun also should. There are no more traffic problems in TV than any other desirable part of Florida. Old people are very dangerous so, as someone posted, Drive defensively.
There are plenty of circles where I come from in different sizes. Cape Cod has them everywhere and traffic in the Summer is worse than TV. Circles are all over the UK and Australia....Mostly small ones. Encountered many in California.
