I would also vote in favor of having permanent four-way stop signs installed instead of traffic lights. I’ve noticed how much smoother vehicles respect and go through without the agony of waiting for the lights to change.

After reading the replies posted thus far, it had not dawned on me that four way stop signs would be a better option. Hmmmm. I think I like that.

FWIW, I am a Professional Engineer with a Masters degree in Transportation Engineering.

4-way stop is the way to go for that intersection.
I thought a round-a-bout was Florida’s answer to all things intersections! LOL

Heheh. If only there was more area available at the intersection, it very well could be.

Really do not need area for a junction to be a roundabout.
Same discipline as a large roundabout.
Give way to traffic from left.
Only problem would be, most Villagers do not give turn signals, or do not know what the turn switch is for, so could be mayhem.
Best stick to four way or traffic lights!
The roundabout system works well in most of the world, but in TV?

To be honest I didn't notice and don't understand the basis of the question?

Agree. I liken the roundabouts here (and many of its users) in TV to that of a failed science/social experiment!
