Every time I see a perfectly good stoplight replaced with a roundabout I spend the rest of my day trying to telepathically give terminal colon cancer to whose ever idea it was to put in the roundabout.
When they put those roundabouts in Sedona (on a 4-lane road), it FUBAR'd the evening incoming traffic situation. Last time I went there, traffic was backed up for 3 miles.
