Watch: How traffic light programming helps manage congestion

Roundabouts are definitely making inroads here in the Twin Cities. They’re being introduced at places like freeway exits, and minor throughways. And after a (lengthy) adjustment phase, drivers do eventually figure them out. And yes, while bad drivers occasionally gum up the works for a few cars, they self correct pretty quickly.

But they are very expensive to build, and they take up a lot more space than signal controlled intersections.
