Does This Great Falls Intersection Need A Roundabout?

Should We Add Another Roundabout In Great Falls?

I can hear the groans already. I know a lot of people are not fans of roundabouts but they do serve their purpose in keeping traffic moving when it comes to some busy intersections.

While the ones in Great Falls currently seem to have made a difference in keeping traffic flowing I still hear people complain about roundabouts saying they are just excess construction and end up confusing people more than anything.

Billings Seems To Have Roundabouts Figured Out

On a recent trip to Billings I found a road that had a speed limit of 45 and had about 4 roundabouts in a row.

There could have been more but the stretch of road I was on had 4 that I drove through with ease and all I could think of was....How long would I have been waiting at a red light or a four way stop if I wasn't able to just zip in and out of the roundabouts?

This trip lead me to think of where one would be beneficial in Great Falls and I think this intersection with a four way stop and flashing light would greatly be impacted.

Intersection at 13th And 13th South In Great Falls

The intersection on the corner of 13th Street and 13th Avenue South. There always seem to be people who don't know how a 4-way stop works and there are always people who don't care how it works and just go when they feel like it.

I think this intersection would be much smoother and keep the traffic flowing smoothly if we added a roundabout here.
