Three cheers for Ross Mitchell, whose letter headlined, 'Roundabouts are better', appeared in the South China Morning Post, on November 22.
However, Stanley Gap Road is far from the only place where roundabouts would be much more beneficial than traffic lights.
I wrote a letter to these columns some seven or eight years ago on the same subject.
Since then we have seen more traffic lights appear in many other locations, a good deal of which could well have been effectively replaced by roundabouts.
The New Territories should be re-named Traffic Light Territories, as the roads in locations such as Sha Tin, Ma On Shan and Tin Shui Wai have been infested with the wretched red, amber and green illuminations.
Some of the crossroads in these 'new towns' are absolutely massive, and provide more than enough space for at least two roundabouts.
