I emphatically agree!

Oh. You were talking about roundabouts. I was thinking about traffic lights with timers.

For those among us who endeavor to save fuel, the idea looks great. For those among us who endeavor to save time, the idea looks great too. Unfortunately my experience counts the the latter in far greater numbers than the former, and the result traffic lights with visible timers being far more car parts becoming detached from their vehicles in the middle of intersections.
