St. John's city councillor Danny Breen says local response has been 'favourable' to the city's first operational traffic circle. A traffic expert says Canada has about 400 roundabouts, which he says have safety benefits. Roundabouts reduce that to eight conflicts, even if people still find innovative ways of getting them wrong. “Roundabouts are very forgiving of mistakes,” said Phil Weber, who designs them for international engineering firm GHD. Miska said roundabouts reduce traffic queues and make U-turns easier.
