I hear a double roundabout is being planned for 42nd and Q. I've seen that intersection on Google Maps and looks rather complex.
Now I'm not a big fan of roundabouts. I prefer to simply drive straight through an intersection. It's much easier for me, but if any intersection is perfect for one, it's 42nd and Q. And I just came up with this idea: A 3-4 lane roundabout at the 57th/Dodge/Farnam/Happy Hollow triangle. If you've gone through it, then you know it can also be a rather crazy intersection. Â Not ALL the time, of course. Â That would be exaggerating. But they'd never put in a roundabout on Dodge Street, would they?
I know. Â That's why I said they'd never put in a roundabout on Dodge. Â Omaha doesn't seem big on roundabouts, unlike Lincoln. Â I'm not too crazy about the one they're putting in at 14th and Superior.

According to the PDF - August 2014.
Okay. Â I think if you absolutely have to have a roundabout, then they should be for intersections like 42nd and Q or 113th/114th/U Street/Roxbury Drive.
