How's this for a simile? The new round-about is like a turbo-charger that spins around and speeds up the traffic flow, plus it's safer, too.
Maybe, what it needs is someone to stand in the center and wave their arms around like a conductor instructing an orchestre? The new round-about just requires a little practice, that's all.
Plymouth has a very similar, new round-about to replace their infamous three-way stop plus an attached bridge. The brand new bridge spans the Pemigewassett River with two pedestrian walkways and two lanes for vehicles. It is incredibly majestic and very large. It really has transformed the main entrance to Plymouth on Rt 175, coming from Holderness and Rt 93 - exit 25.
A hundred years from now, will these same round-abouts still be in use..............most likely! In two hundred years.......?
