Best thing that has happened here in years is flashing yellow left turn lanes versus only turning when green left turn only light is on. I have coasted through a left turn, into Wendy's parking lot and to a parking spot, engine off the whole time. That NEVER happened before.

I love roundabouts.

Post the speeds the lights are timed for.

Both directions is no problem when the lights are timed to the speed of traffic. Think about it. Same two cars going the timed speed, in opposite directions, would pass each other at exactly the same place every time. What works for one direction works for the mirror opposite direction.

Traffic circles are great when you have a populace that is educated about them. I've got your traffic circle nightmare right here:

It's like it wants to be an inverted cloverleaf. It's one lane wide on the North and two lanes wide on the South. Traffic moving East on Hayden Bridge Road cuts from the outer to the inner lane and back again. Maybe there are zero accidents, but people there worry me.
