I love the hybrid roundabout by Route 31 in Pennington where they control one entrance with a traffic light so that other entrances have the opportunity to merge into the circle. Modern traffic problems require modern traffic solutions

Agreed, that’s a very good design

Idk, I feel like that was a good retrofit that could inexpensively increase safety, but I still hate that circle. The yields are very confusing for a lot of drivers and those trying to enter from parking lots don't help. I'll drive it but avoid like the plague on my bike.

Through movements on 546 are meh on a bike (I've done it plenty of times) especially since your other options are pretty much the flashing beacon at Ingleside (worse) or detouring all the way up to Penn-Tts. Road (more hills). 31 south of there was always a no-go and even north of there is worse since the shoulder rumble strips were installed.

Agreed, wouldn't be riding 31 down there but wish I felt comfortable crossing the other way as the other options aren't great (as you say). Really hope they are able to figure out a better solution as part of the great western bikeway.
