I was in downtown St. George Utah, I mean right down in the center of the historical area part of the city, where I discovered this beautifull and efficient roundabout enabling a smooth flow of traffic through the center of town. No pollution creating two stops like at Zion and Ridge Road in Nevada City, just a nice air quality friendly flow of traffic through the downtown intersection. I will never understand Nevada City’s reluctance to have a roundabout in the city. I guess it was like the first stop light, it was a life saving issue. Now maybe we need a roundabout to save the air and more lives. Stop and Go traffic produces more air pollution that free flowing traffic. When STAinNC have their Air Quality Summit, may be they should be look at the amount of stop and go intersections in Nevada City that could be eliminated with roundabouts, such as at SR-49 and Gold Flat and in the Plaza at the foot of Boulder and Sacramento Streets. Wow, another workable solution for reducing ozone in Nevada County.
