Call them what you want i HATE THEM. There are 2 purposed to be put in rotterdam 1 at the end of erie blvd, by GE, and 3 by u albany. I think they cause more accidents then anything else. ALSO 1.6 million is to goto this roundabout in schenectady, ive gone to 4 town meeting and spoke out, if they can waist 1.6 mil on a road that isnt needed to be redone, when they cant fix up hamalton hill, and all the shitty neighborhoods? /Rant ---

Are you kidding me. I LOVE the ones they just recently put in at exit 12. Cut the traffic congestions down there easily by 80%. Plus late at night coming home I’ll time myself through the circle series heading 87n of exit 12 to Ballston Spa. Pretty quick in the Evo’s 😉 If the mass of the population just knew how to drive through them they wouldn’t be such a headache for most people. ---

I think they make things much less congested as BoxerSix said. and when it’s wet + RWD + no traffic = FUN! ---

any one with at least a 1/4 brain can figure out the traffic circle. It’s just a bunch of yields. Not much to complain about really… You wanna complain about a stupid setup then talk about the cluster fuck of 4-way stops in latham farms. I personally love traffic circles. I go up to exit 12 every week… love it! ---

I go up to exit 12 every week… love it! Yeah the 4 way stops in Latham Farms is fucking stupid and people are retarded when they go through there. If they had a couple traffic circles in there it would be a lot better. ---

> [@Mk4 30R](#): > > not very hard if you ask me :confused amazing, right? :lol I guess it is technically harder then colored lights that tell you exactly what to do. It does involve some sort of thought, which maybe difficult for some people. there was an article in the times union many months ago that said that there have been far less accidents at the traffic circles off exit 12 then there was the year before with the lights AND it cut the average time to get through that area in half. ---
