Dr J.
Then "Google" "roundabout problems". Tons of info.
Looks like roundabouts address mainly intersection problems, like the one that Kapohocat suggested. I like that one.
Balanced traffic flow is a major issue in the way a roundabout functions.
Seems to me that 90% of 130's traffic is thru traffic; not balanced.
There is intersection after intersection with problems. If the intersections could be consolidated with secondary connector roads within the subdivisions it might work better.
A couple of metering lights to interupt the flow seems like a quick, cheap and effective approach to me. Does anyone have an opinion on this. I feel so lonely.
