Same here.... they become a pain in the ass. Especially when people are going to/from work. Give me a real intersection any day. :)

But they probably are safer. Just a tad more annoying too.

I figured I wouldnt be the only one to find them annoying. :)

As for safer..Im not sure about that either. While I dont have any statistics on them vs. regular intersections. I would think they may be more dangerous since no lights are involved.

Actually I think you\'re right about that. There has been a craze about making them all over the country the last couple of years, but I seem to remember some talk about how they weren\'t all that safe anyway. I don\'t have any links though... but let me tell you, driving behind some 80 year old who\'s trying to get into one... THAT\'s annoying.

Sammy..what about the ppl that make those wide turns into them..gotta love them. Or the ones who are lost as to what a roundabout is and are driving at like 10 mph.

Give me some good ol\' stop and g lights any day.

I hate roundabouts.  And as far as being safe, what about pedestrians?  THey are terrible for the people trying to walk across.
