Subject: Sitting at stoplights is lousy traffic flow.
Joy Hewett says, ” roundabouts create really lousy traffic flows.”
This can’t be farther from the truth.
They are the most efficient means possible for handling intersecting and merging traffic flow.
Setting at stoplights is lousy traffic flow.
I fail to understand why some people seem threatened by circle traffic.
All it takes is knowledge of rules of driving….and hopefully eyes.
I applaud efforts to make traffic flow more efficient in Pittsboro.
Raleigh is doing likewise in several congested areas near State campus, and those already
in use are wonderfully useful.
