I agree that the round about is dangerous. I'm not sure how they expected it to work. It get's pretty busy. They should do something about it before someone really gets hurt. The round about by the mall seems to be a lot safer.
Actually the slower speeds required make the roundabout much less dangerous than the former 4-way stop that backed up onto the Highway. Any accidents are merely fender benders and they're certainly not life threatening. Visit www.wsdot.gov for info.
I can't believe insurance companies have not sued the county over this stupid piece of engineering.The round-about at the mall was designed correctly. The two lanes do no good when the inside lane can't get out anyway, at least not safely.
Meg, two wrongs do not make a right. That round-about is poorly engineered and costly to insurance rate payers and individuals who end up in accidents. Tell my motorcycle riding cousin who was run off the road that it's safer.
People need to learn to drive and stop being in such a hurry. Show some consideration for others and stop expecting everyone else to make room for you. PAY ATTENTION morons.
Learn to drive.

The round about is very dangerous due to two lanes traffic which allows inner lane vehicle to turn off on exit while there is a car on the outer lane that is not planning on turning off at that same exit which causes accidents for innocent people.
