Size matters!!!
For the number of vehicles that travel thru Villages roundabouts vs accidents in roundabouts, I would venture to guess that the roundabouts work very well for all but a few folks!

I'd hate to see the whining and complaining that would result from having intersections with traffic lights with the resulting lines of traffic rather than the roundabouts [especially in 'season']! And where we do have traffic lights - there are STILL accidents!
