I my state, in an attempt to simply impede and slow down traffic, they have been building roundabouts in huge numbers.
Thing is, if everyone drove roundabouts the correct way, it might be okay, even beneficial, but the fact is, people just don’t.
I have a new crosswalk painted on a road that has those flashing lights as well, and it was already a strange intersection and there are now 12-count them-12 new crosswalk arrow signs. Add to that flashing lights, and actual stupid pedestrians, and it is now a hazard area.
I had to laugh-it is in an area populated by a high number of Indians, and is near a well known children’s museum! Talk about a hazardous area!
