For example, a roundabout would slow traffic to about 15 mph, Graham said, while a traffic signal would allow vehicles to move at normal speeds. Bicyclists would be safer with a traffic light, while installing a roundabout would involve acquiring property, which could mean that some old live oak trees would be cut down.
One of our neighbors went to the meeting and sent us a report. He said they were leaning toward a roundabout. But is there room? And how will that affect pedestrians and bicyclists?
Are there a lot of accidents at that intersection?
...a huge concern is the families on bikes who do not stop and look before crossing... If I hit one of them because they pulled on across in my blindspot after I had stopped, looked and took my turn to go, that is not only going to be my fault, but ruin my life (morally and possibly financially).
