"This is not Europe" is not a valid argument, dude. Look at the stats. Granted, education is tantamount to the smooth operation of these traffic features, and the revision of the RCW to include laws for signalling in the roundabout will make the rules less nebulous and more enforceable. I love them.

we were against the roundabouts at first but they grow on you after a while. the problem is educating everyone. Also when they first said roundabouts, i thought of the old roundabouts that didnt have specific lanes but were basically a free for all.

What a crock of bullcrap. This is not a safe proposal. For one thing this adds to the confusion for intersections. This is not Europe and should be abolished. It is a waste of Taxpayer funds that are needed more for repairing the infrastructure. As a Taxpayer I think that anyone involved in implementing this should be fired. There are much better uses for these funds and someone better get a clue real fast. Their job depends on it!!!

Good points on the safety bennies of roundabouts- they do calm traffic.
Roundabouts are not only safe. They save time, too, compared with lights-controlled junctions.

An accident can still occur, but if used properly and carefully, it can be a safe means of going through an intersection.
