The City of Carlsbad is considering a controversial plan that would replace the streetlights at three busy intersections along Coast Highway with roundabouts, also known as traffic circles.
"Roundabouts have a number of benefits," city spokesperson Nikki Matosian told ABC 10News. In particular, she cited studies that show that roundabouts help cut greenhouse gas emissions, are safer, and improve commute times.
City staff looked at federal data, along with results from the growing number of cities that are putting in roundabouts along the coast, including nearby Encinitas and the Birdrock neighborhood of San Diego. “We want people to slow down, enjoy the scenery, be able to safely bike, walk, and drive, and have enough space for that," Matosian said.
