Karen Ranen: Rotaries and roundabouts

Every time I enter a rotary or roundabout I’m taking my life in my hands. I believe we all are. Cars often enter the rotary without knowledge or thought to the rules. Roundabouts have sprung up left and right, and now more are being planned for South East Street. I’m not sure how best to address this safety issue but perhaps more signage explaining right of way when entering a roundabout, or an article from the driver’s ed manual stating the rules. I’d appreciate others thoughts on this.
