I don't like it. Two cars ran a red light from my right side. I about T-boned the first one since my light had turned green and you cannot easily see to the right since you are not perpendicular to the roadway. I see lots of T-bone's coming...
We have several in Springfield and they are working great. Takes a little time to get used to. Really improves traffic flow and reduces time at stoplights.
The biggest problem so far seems to be the tourists. They really struggle trying to text and drive at the same time through a diverging diamond.

Just calm down. You'll be O.K.

We have 1in Farmington and it is great! No accidents, and a LOT less dangerous really. Give it time.
