I live very close to this intersection and drive through it numerous times a day and I cannot wait for this roundabout to be completed. Apparently a large percentage of residents here don’t understand how a 3-way stop works, because AT LEAST 2-3 times a week I see people completely blow through their stop signs, it is ridiculous. This roundabout is a very welcome change!!!

Slowing down to interact with other motorist is much better than coming to a complete stop. I think your fears are unfounded. iihs.org has a faq sheet on modern roundabouts. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov has a video about modern roundabouts that is mostly accurate (http://tinyurl.com/3hjrqus ).
