    I agree. My point is the problem is bad drivers are bad drivers so roundabouts, etc are a waste and won’t do anything to solve the issue.

      They solve the average driver. A certain number of drivers are jsut shit that need their licences removed, there’s no question about that.

      But let’s consider the majority, myself for example.

      I’m keenly aware of vulnerable road users, and active at the municipal and provincial levels in improving road safety, I take active and public transportation whenever practical.

      When I lived in Montréal, I rarely sped, logs of questionable accuracy show somewhere around 10% of the time. Now that I’m in Kingston it’s around 80% of the time.

      I’m even a less aggressive driver in Kingston, but the geometry of the roads here leads me to unconsciously speed a lot.
