Although I disagree with a number of items that were vetoed the vetoing of the roundabouts was a correct move. Statistically roundabouts for high speed crossings have 4 times the accidents as those controlled by lights and for low speed crossings roundabouts have 3 times the accidents rate as those with lights. The injury incidence is very low with roundabouts because of reduced entry speed and angle of impact. Add to these statistics the fact that most Florida drivers have no clue about the rules of traffic circles, the increased vigilance needed to use them and our elderly driver population and you have a recipe for disaster.
