More on Roundabouts

QEF@aol.com
Greetings, all --

For what it's worth, when I was on the City's Traffic Calming Review Task Force a few years ago, I worked with the Traffic Engineering department to find suitable intersections in Santa Fe to put in modern roundabouts. I was especially interested in doing it at the intersection of San Mateo and Galisteo, since there was room in the then-unbuilt development to accommodate one. Unfortunately, three of the four landowners approved, but the hold out held out and we have a 4-way stop at that intersection instead. This article from Slate speaks to several of the points others made recently:
