I could not disagree more. I think traffic circles are vastly superior to traffic lights in a large number of situations. They are all over the UK with no apparent problems

The state just replaced a 4 way intersection near me with a traffic circle. Best thing to happen to local traffic in decades.
Average 2 wrecks a month because someone didn’t stop or tried to beat oncoming traffic.
No deaths but lots of cars totaled and people hospitalised.

Added benefit of keeping big trucks out of the village because the circle has a 40 foot restriction.
Log truck ignored the warnings last week and over turned in the circle. Hours cleaning the mess up.
State trooper said the driver will probably lose his CDL over the accident.
