I don't think that putting camera's on stop signs is a very good idea. The cost would be prohibitive. I'd rather think that we don't need more big brother monitoring our behavior, but that we can manage without it.

That's the part that a lot of folks don't get, or adhere to. The yield signs at the roundabout entrances mean yield to both lanes. If there is someone in either lane, don't enter till they've passed and both lanes are clear. And don't pass anyone, either.

Could not agree more with this! Cannot count the number of times I have watched a driver enter the roundabout from the right lane, move to the left land at 3:00 and then back to the right to exit at 12:00. For what? Just so they can speed through the roundabout a few miles an hour faster??? I just wait until both lanes are clear and proceed.

This topic has been going on too long, tax, taxi, who cares, just be careful out there!

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.

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!!!

No, Rango did not find it humorous,...this was your quote.


According to Wikapedia "At junctions with stop signs or traffic lights, the most serious accidents are right angle, left turn or head on collisions, where vehicles move fast and collide at high impact angles, e.g. head on. Roundabouts virtually eliminate those types of crashes. Instead, most crashes are glancing blows at low angles of impact."


I cant imagine trying to make a u turn at a stop sign, proceeding across 4 lanes of traffic to head in the opposite direction. One would definitely need side air bags.

We have vacationed at TV for years (18+) and I have to say as far as driving goes, this vacation was the rudest I have ever experienced at TV. Aggressive, short tempered, horn blowing, bird flying, ignoring stop signs, yelling, etc.. On one occasion I was cut off by a cart driver at LSL, making an illegal left turn on a red light almost causing the tailgater behind me to hit us. He then proceeded to yell he has the right of way “because he lives there.” At another intersection as soon as the light turned green, the gal behind me in her SUV blows her horn. I guess she was late for her tee time.

Ahh, lane surfing! That's a pet peeve of mine, and can be very dangerous.

Regarding our roundabouts and the rules for traveling in them, there are signs that indicate the proper usage in the approaches to each of them

And how do those signs help you when someone cuts in front of you to because you were following the rules and they didn't have a clue? This is not a snow bird thing, it happens everyday.

Also, I think we should put this to rest, it's getting ugly!
