Originally posted by Bob Orts... Roundabouts do not reduce accident, they increase accidents. What is reduced or virtually eliminated are the catastrophic & fatal accidents. There are no head ons, T-bones, or things like that. There are also fewer pedestrian fatalities at roundabouts. What increases are fender benders, sideswipes, rear ending and the bang to a pedestrian from time to time. But since these are at relative lower speeds, people are generally more forgiving.
As my brother the pilot says, any landing you walk away from is a good one. I would apply this to the roundabouts too. Any accident you walk away from is a not a bad one. [8D]
Damon - is the money already allocated for the stop light at Hwy 130/Malama Market/Kahakai Blvd?
