Wow! People are really blowing this out of proportion. I don't think any comments are to be taken personally. It is a topic of concern and various viewpoints will be expressed.
Why are some of you on the offense here? Very odd.
Lots of roundabouts in the Salt Lake City suburbs in Utah. Lots in Clearwater, Florida, lots in Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Roseville, areas of Ca. Many places with newer neighborhoods are using roundabouts to expedite traffic control. My hubby retired from Utah dept of transportation and we see them everywhere we travel.
They are new to many and seem strange at first, but are a great way to keep traffic in all directions moving. Caution is the key, as always, when driving.
Drive defensively and with courtesy!! Simple as that! Oh, good idea to obey traffic laws too. Like stop signs!!!
