The right turn onto ringland from the south is way too sharp n the yikes is too short . Their a weird bump out on 41 in front of the hotel shpukd ne smooth out. This is basic 101
So far, it seems terrible. The pedestrian crossings will make it even slower. Did engineers ever consider that elderly people will take forever, stopping to look between every car? Then pedestrians can stop all traffic whenever they feel like it, and then the red light will confuse people for another 20 seconds. Between St. Armands circle, which never holds up pedestrians into batches to cross, and this new circle, it seems like it's some vague notion of "community equity" rather than traffic flow that is the priority. Where's the "equity" of creating 20+ minute traffic jams to get off Longboat Key for 5-6 months a year? I hope that this circle will have better capacity when fully finished than it does now.
