Lots of interesting stuff baked into this one. Personally I really enjoy the bitching about the cashier who weighs the vegetables as if slow checkout lines don't exist in the west

Just toss it all out and go with a fucking roundabout instead.
I realize this isn't universally applicable, but holy shit, everywhere in my area where they recently replaced big intersections with roundabouts has been a clear and significant improvement.
I thought roundabouts were supposed to be significantly less safe
Everything I've ever seen, including stats I trust, says the exact opposite, that roundabouts are significantly safer both in terms of number of accidents and the severity of the ones that do occur. A quick search seems to confirm this.
Roundabouts are good because they force people to slow down and pay attention

Roundabouts are safer because they reduce speed. They also have higher capacity than intersections.
Car-brained people tend to dislike them though. They don't like the idea of having to slow down or something.
What. You actually go faster through them because you don't have to stop.
What I've seen is that the severity goes way down, but the number goes up (which may be limited to places like North America where they aren't as common) which would be fine anyway.
