I am not an engineer. I am not an expert on DOT projects. What I am is a commuter that has navigated VT, ME, NH, MA and RI over the past 30 years. People that live in RI don't like change. They don't adapt well to change and they complain ad nauseam when something like this goes into effect. You don't agree with me? Let's see what happens when the exit numbers change on 295. Oh, the horror!

Thecaptain, I don't disagree with you but I do not have any in depth knowledge of engineering to contribute to the discussion with any real confidence. I only know that as a driver that used to avoid the area during rush hour, I am pleased that my commute time has been halved due to the roundabouts. I haven't witness an accident, nor have I been delayed due to an accident. I only have had a positive experience.

For those that are aggressive - YIELD. It is a law and a rare sight to see on RI roadways. For those that are timid - spend some time (not during rush hour) driving through Appanoug a few times until you are comfortable with the lanes and directions. Get comfortable with the layout so that you are not scared to make a wrong turn or get in the wrong lane.

I have said it before and I will say it again. This isn't going anywhere soon so you need to adapt to the layout.
