On Wednesday we had a presentation from Alan Matcham of the Leading Edge Forum on alternative organisational models, including a reference to a Dutch town that had abandoned traffic signals. By coincidence, a friend forwarded the attached video, entitled 'Why Roundabouts?' which arrived this morning.
I guess that this is really a question of risk management. I suspect that even the Dutch mayor who got rid of his road signs might have been a touch uncomfortable here. Ironic that we are not prepared to accept short term risk but live quite comfortably with climate change...
