Concrete workers finish the sidewalks at the corner of Larch Street and Boyer Avenue in Sandpoint in preparation for the opening of the roundabout at the intersection scheduled for next week/Ralph Bartholdt, Skookum Photography, via Facebook.

DFO: I was a vocal critic of roundabouts, when they first cropped up in Coeur d'Alene, by the Nazarene Church on 4th and by Skyway Elementary, in Coeur d'Alene Place. Later, I changed my mind. They seem to be a quick, safe way to get through congested intersections that don't warrant a four-way stop or traffic lights.

Question: What do you think of roundabouts?
