Jon, You are presenting your speculations as facts. Consider the fact that this process has been undertaken elsewhere with success. It may be that our population is more prone to disaster than other populations. It may also be that you are grossly over estimating a perceived problem. it may also be that sensible solutions can produce reasonably good results. It may also be that roundabouts would not be a practical soltuion for Hwy. 130. As long as HDOT engineers refuse to consider the facts it will be an uphill battle to find the answer.
I do have a level of frustration with HDOT engineers and members of the public who are not interested in exploring the facts. Feel free to explore facts. Find me some data that shows that roundabouts, when installed, resulted in increased accidents, injury and death. Everything I have read says the opposite. Otherwise please try to remember that your speculations are merely that, speculations. Which is fine of course.

Assume the best and ask questions.
