Low to moderate traffic, huh? Then can we at least drop a couple into suburbia? Here in KY neighborhoods, the low-traffic cross-streets do not stop, rather, the throughstreet has stop signs every 50 feet. I realize that's for speed control, but could roundabouts not achieve the same effect and still let me get out of first gear? You can't pretend you're serious about emissions/combating gas prices when you're needlessly making everyone's SUV stop every 50 feet on the way to work. Plus the neighborhood gets those vegetated medians they seem to enjoy. Doesn't seem like a hard sell.
