      Be careful saying things like this …… you’ll attract all roundabout fans saying it should be a goal to get rid of red lights

          Yes, I use them all the time. They are fucking amazing.

          You don’t even have to use them in a country like the UK that has had them for a long time where people are used to them. Carmel, IN put roundabouts all over their part of Indianapolis (yes, I consider Carmel part of Indy and not its own city), and it took hardly any time for people to get used to them. The people that live their love them for the most part. Plainfield, IN also put roundabouts in more country road areas, and they are also great.

          What’s weird is when cities don’t fully commit and put stoplights in the middle of a huge roundabout like in Inverness, Scottland.
