I wish someone would have a vote on putting circles in the road. Does people really like to line up in triffic? Who votes for our tax money to cause traffic jams?

I like the traffic circles and I know I'm in the minority. For 22 hours of every day, they are the fastest way to deal with crossroads traffic. The wait time isn't very long, just FEELS long for impatient people. Plus far fewer accidents than stopsigns.
