I think a pedestrian underpass and barriers to prevent jaywalkers would solve 90 percent of the traffic issues in Meredith. I just don't see a roundabout working well with the heavy traffic the area sees on peak times, especially Sunday afternoons. The lights seem to work well, the back ups occur with people pushing the cross buttons stopping traffic in all four directions constantly. Then traffic has to stop for people crossing at the boat ramp. Routing these people under the road would free everything up in my opinion.
