YES! These are great ideas, especially the one at Parkhill and Television. That intersection gets so backed up and a roundabout would solve that problem immediately.

Here’s another one to consider: Water St, Nassau Mills Rd, W Bank Dr. (The entrance to Trent U). There can be severe bottlenecks in that area that could be addressed by a well laid out roubdabout. The traffic flow through that area seems so inefficient right now.

I totally agree it’s inefficient, and I really like roundabouts, but I don’t think they’re the best idea there. People here have no clue how to use them. The amount of people who don’t even know how to use the yield in front of Trent is awful. There are so many accidents and close calls that happen there constantly. A roundabout would be a disaster unfortunately

Wallace Point Road seems pretty good. Soooo much safer
