Traffic lights make roundabouts pointless, unless they’re on a quick cycle used to ‘group’ cars entering a multi-lane roundabout.
If your population didn’t grow up with roundabouts though, and treats them like YOLO free for alls… then you might need lights
My hometown installed roundabouts, with 4 way stop signs. Like, why.
My town built lots of roundabouts, and the population are used to them, but they have a problem with unbalanced traffic, and it's been growing, so traffic has been getting more unbalanced - more people coming from directions the engineers who planned the road didn't expect
The real problem, of course, is that though they are trying they are not able to replace the traffic with mass transit. The buses get stuck in the same traffic, light rail seems impossible, even with political will
You meant, roundabouts make traffic lights pointless?
You meant, pointless makes roundabouts traffic lights?
You pointless, roundabout meaning traffic light pleb?
No, lol.
Dare I say this is a chicken:egg situation - which is making the other redundant?
