OK, how many times have drivers merged onto a freeway via an on-ramp? To safely and properly accomplish that merge, the driver must look waaaay left over their left shoulder to see approaching traffic moving at 70+ MPH. Time their acceleration and get into the high speed flow. Merging into a Roundie is easier and safer, because the traffic is in front of the driver (to the left) and the speeds are one quarter as fast. If drivers can merge onto a freeway, roundies are a piece of cake! Make Division IDENTICAL to Woodmere and plan in the roundies…it will move the traffic. It’s easy and already been done. Four lanes are not necessary when the traffic never stops. Woodmere is the gold standard for streets in TC.
