Accident in Hamburg

Crews removed heavy rocks today from the roundabout on South Park Avenue and Big Tree Road in Hamburg. A few weeks ago, a man lost his life when he crashed into one of the boulders and his truck caught on fire. You can't help but feel sorry for the victim's sister in this WIVB story. Roundabouts and circles look nice, but seem to result in a lot of accidents. People approach them too fast and they always seem too chaotic for me. I avoid them whenever possible, although some are much worse than others. The one downtown by city hall is the worst. It's a roundabout combined with unsynchronized red lights...
