I've been through a few times over the last few days and traffic lights do seem to be working well (obviously when they're working).

I think another reason for a roundabout over traffic lights is volume of traffic - if a roundabout is installed the traffic continues to flow, particularly at quiet times but if you install traffic lights you actually have to get people to stop. A roundabout makes more sense in that context.

However, I'm not a great lover of roundabouts, most people don't know how to use them whereas at least most people understand traffic lights.

Having said that, though, I'm just really pleased that something is being done there, it's been a fiasco from start to finish to get something done and now it's eventually happening it's great.
