Few days back I came accross an intresting view poll on internet about Traffic lights. I want to know the views of people in this forum.

The Poll is as follows:

Are traffic lights dangerous?

It's been suggested that removing all traffic signals and replacing certain intersections with roundabouts would be safer. The logic being that the increased level of danger would make people more careful, forcing them to pay more attention to the road and the actions of others. Is this a good idea?

VIEW "A"

Traffic signals only encourage traffic problems. It forces people to be less aware of their driving behavior as the responsibility is on the traffic light to minimize danger, allowing drivers to become distracted by nondriving activities.

VIEW "B"

Traffic signals provide a necessary function as they keep traffic flowing. Without traffic signals we would constantly be at a standstill and no one would be able to get anywhere.

What do u think?

I will go with "B". Traffic lights are necessary part of road traffic system. Round about can be handy only on those places where traffic volume is very minimum.
