More Roundabouts For Williston -- February 19, 2017

From The Williston Herald:
A plan for road improvements in the Williston area calls for as many as 13 roundabouts, mostly in the western and northern parts of the city.
The plan, which was unanimously recommended by both the Williston and Williams County planning and zoning boards Thursday night ...
The transportation plan lists more than 30 projects that may be needed between 2016 and 2030.
In all, the short-term projects add up to nearly 36 miles of road and a cost of more than $350 million.
Much more at the link. 

In my experience, there are few intersections that are better served by traffic lights than round-abouts or "circles." Very few intersections. In addition, round-abouts are considerably less expensive. In fact, it's hard to even compare the price of one with the other.
