Personally, I prefer roundabouts over stop signs or traffic lights, but my few attempts to navigate them in my neck of the woods (such as this infamous one in Clearwater Beach) have always been frustrating at best, which begs the question, why do so many of my fellow Floridians become paralyzed with fear and indecision whenever they approach a traffic circle? Is it their novelty? That can’t be right: the Clearwater Beach roundabout has been around (pun intended!) for decades. Or is there some inherent flaw in their design? Again, that can’t be right either, since roundabouts work perfectly fine in every other country outside the USA.
