[QUOTE="donner, post: 4014224, member: 277"] The town i live in loves roundabouts, and with good reason. It's always funny to hear the doom and gloom that comes up whenever a new one is mentioned. Yet after it's built, intersections function better and crashes typically decrease. But then the cycle starts over. It's amazing how different road patterns can scare people so much, especially when so many of these things are only 'new' to the area and are common in other places. It also seems lost on some that the reason areas become harder to navigate pre-redesign is not because the road was planned poorly, but because the area around it changed after it was built. Stick a handful of car dealerships and a super target at 101st and memorial and suddenly the interchange designed for XXX cars per day is now seeing 10x that. [/QUOTE]
