Ya, I wish they put speed bumps on the main street my house sits on. People speed all the time down it, so they put a roundabout in, which everyone hates, but the good news is it has everyone using it so confused that the corner it's on has much lower accidents than before, so lucky us, they're putting in more across the city. god forbid they put in a 4-way stop, so many people have no clue how they work either.🤦‍♂️

I was pleasantly surprised at how well the traffic circle they put into my neighbourhood works. I was dead set against it when they announced their plan, but now that we have it in place, I can see how it's improved the traffic flow. (It was pretty much the only option they had as new development was making it a 5 road intersection).
 
there was a different 3 way intersection not far away that had no stop signs when going straight only on the road coming in. The first 1-2 years we lived in the area it was like that then they made it a full 3 way stop. For about 6 months it was dangerous to assume they were actually going to stop. Took a long time for people to adjust. So putting in full stops doesn't always help either. So many people just about got t-boned.

I wish this were the case on this street, but so far it just always feels like you're playing car crash roulette. Before the loop was put in, there were 11 accidents at this intersection over 2 years, the first year after we had 6, the city council called that a decrease lol. The other problem is that the street is a main route for trucks to get to factories on the other side of town, but now it's a massive pain for them since a lot of them can't get around it without hitting it.

No one in my neighbourhood likes it and wants it gone. We would like to have a 4-way, over loopy, also it hasn't slowed the speeders on the street down, people coming off of the highway like to do 80+ down the road with kids playing around, it's not good, many animals and people have been hit on this street.
 
They put in a traffic circle on the main highway up here a few years ago. Now they are just taking over. Adding more on same highway nearby.

TBH the corner of my block they need to do something too. At least a 4 way stop or something. I think there was a fatality Tuesday as police had it shut down for at least 6 hours.
