Homer Watson and Ottawa Three Lane Roundabouts
#26
There's a clear advantage for roundabouts: way less people die in collisions when they happen. They also happen to cost a lot less over the life of the intersection. I don't care if people have to wait at rush hour, it's always going to be like that if people insist on living the suburban car-culture life. The expressway is still packed at rush hour even though they've been adding lanes like crazy. I've been driving down H-W to get to the expressway or Hamilton when I have to work and it's pretty smooth sailing even through that "horrible" roundabout at Block Line. All the other intersections are places I've had more close calls with assholes that insist on running yellows and red lights.
