re: #97 Anymouse

Part of the problem with roundabouts is they take up considerably more land than a simple intersection and traffic light.

Hence the coin-sized roundabouts in Cheyenne. Don’t want to raise tax money in a conservative city to purchase enough land.

Most of the ones we have around here are plenty big enough. There’s a itty bitty one about 3 blocks from me, but it’s in a residential area and they put it there to slow traffic. The ones coming off the interstate are big enough for even the largest trucks, as long as they don’t try to go too fast. We had one guy in a cement truck come into one and almost 40mph and tipped himself over. Ooops.
