The new roundabouts should not be "be any different than any of the roundabouts", but I suspect the drivers will be different.

My friend Billy-Bob who lives in Sumterville and works in Leesburg is used to driving home at 60 mph along 470. He has been on a top secret assignment in Germany for the last six months, and when he gets home he will expect to resume his old driving habits.

I think the traffic in the new roundabouts may be very different from what we experience in the 'old Villages'.

Boy, all those new roads with new names and new places. Been here for over 19 years (in Bonny Brook near 466) and don't have a clue what you are all talking about.

Used it this morning coming in from the west.

To go north on Marsh View, you have to first turn right (south), go through a traffic circle to point you north, and then you are on your way.

A little inconvenient from that perspective, but I'm sure I will like it much more when I want to get to the turnpike. As others have said, turning left into a road where everyone is moving 55+ often required you to gun it to make the merge and not get rear-ended or T-boned. Not very safe when the road is wet.

Probably all of the new roads will have 35 mph speed limits, which is the speed limit on Morse, Buena Vista, and Meggison.

And of course no one will pay attention to that.
