Am I the only one who has noticed at things such as stoplights not working, the honor system and courtesy used to cause people to take turns but now three or four blast ahead and ignore everyone but themselves?

It ain’t Mayberry.

And does everyone BUT me like the roundabouts or traffic circles? Cities say they are cheaper for the city budgets than stoplights.

Traffic circles replacing traffic lights have greatly improved flow in the unincorporated "town" nearest me. The lights were never timed quite right ... circles just flow. Even toothless hillbilly rednecks can figure them out.
