Probably already been mentioned, but the government is giving funds to put in roundabouts instead of stop signs. They move traffic more efficiently, less noise, less air pollution and less traffic deaths (more angled crashes, rather than t-bone). Although there's a slight increase in minor traffic accidents. (Maybe until people figure them out).The county is putting in a new roundabout at an four way stop intersection that has been dangerous since it was put in. I have nearly been hit by a couple of people not paying attention and blowing one if the stop signs. It's at the bottom of a hill one one side, and at the edge of a bridge on the other, so it's going to be an interesting project. Some local cranks that don't like roundabouts tried to sue the county to block it but didn't get anywhere.
My town has been adding quite a few, and yes, the uninformed fight them.
