Roundabout Rehash

OK, so the Summit and University Roundabout is a dead issue. No beating a dead horse here. I do want to pass along the contrast between how timid Wisconsin is about them and how Colorado has overdosed on them.
While driving over the Rockies, towns are few and far between and usually exist for the skiing tourists. I took some breaks while driving at some of those towns and the use of roundabouts is extensive. I believe that in one town I went from the Interstate 70 exit immediately to a cascade of FIVE roundabouts. I admit to being a bit overwhelmed by this. One is easy. Five is a bit intimidating to a person happening upon them for the first time. I did not, however, see any bits of fenders and headlight glass. They do work and they do speed up traffic.
Did I see that horse flinch a bit?
