Letters: Overpasses are not needed

There is lots of evidence the roundabouts prevent collisions and are a lot cheaper to build than overpasses

Re: Vehicle overpass is needed at this intersection (Optimist, letters, Sept. 14)

We don’t need overpasses, we need roundabouts.

There is lots of evidence the roundabouts prevent collisions and are a lot cheaper to build than overpasses.

If they put roundabouts along Highway 1 all across the prairies, people would be a lot safer.

And roundabouts would work well in Ladner as well.

Best thing about them is that unlike intersections, traffic keeps moving.
