They are adding roundabouts all over the place around here. I like them.
Around here, ICBC, our public insurance company (monopoly), has a large say in road planning. I am told that traffic flow is less of a reason to use roundabouts than insurance reasons. It is far easier to determine who is at fault in an accident in a roundabout. Whoever is IN the roundabout when it happens is not guilty. Four way stop accidents are often less black and white.
