  1. Y’all better watch out, they’ll be turning that intersection into an idiotic roundabout. Drive safe and pay attention!

    • Roundabouts waste less time than 4-way stops, but they cost more money and people crash in those, too. What they will do is put a light there, which still won’t stop the accidents. Texting while driving should be the same penalties as DUI, it’s just as dangerous. Don’t do it, pull over!

      • @Al: Try again… Studies from yhe IIHS and Federal Highway Administration shoq that although roundabouts cost ~15% upfront, after 7 years the costs are equal (due to the signals ongoing maintenance costs. Additionally roundabouts provide 37% reduction in accidents, 75% reduction in injuries, a 90% reduction in fatalities, and a 40% reduction in crashes with pedestrians. But hey, keep complaining and making false claims. #FactsMatter
