And in more Santa Barbara Real Estate News….

Santa Barbara’s roundabouts are in the news. These constructions which usually sit in the middle of intersections are meant to both slow down and speed up traffic. Instead of stopping at a stop sign the driver goes around them hopefully at a slower speed.

The problem is they don’t seem to be slowing many people down. They are called “traffic-calming” but every time I go through one I feel more uptight. The plan is to install dozens of these things in the Upper East Side and around the Samarkand and Oak Park neighborhoods.

But there is currently a movement to kill the whole plan. People say they are unsafe, in the wrong spots and there is no real need for them in residential neighborhoods.

This should be a fun one to watch so hang on!!
