RoundAbouts!!!

When I was vacationing in Scotland last year I had the chance to do some driving. One of the greatest joys and terrors I ever experienced was the "roundabout". Greatest terror the first time I took one - greatest joy when I got comfortable with them. They are a great way to control traffic.

Roundabouts are slowly making there way into Ontario. The first ones I noticed were in suburbs around Hamilton, Ontario. A couple of weeks ago I found out that they are build a couple in Waterloo region over the next two years, which I am probably more excited about than I really should be. Two days ago they finished up with half of the one at Erb St. and Ira Needles Blvd. and the traffic has been directed onto it. Though it isn't a roundabout yet it is well on the way to becoming one. I love it so much :)
