- ABC15 was sent multiple videos of recent incidents where drivers near 23rd Avenue and Osborn Road come down the road and lose control.
Get off the damn phone and pay attention!!!!
Dumb people tearing their cars up. Driving too fast and not paying attention.
The drivers that have the accidents appear to be going over the speed limit for a residential neighborhood. It also looks like poor signage and markings from the city, combined with roundabouts aren’t the norm in AZ🤷🏻♀️
Historical drug runners.
@@juliepiemonte1281 your comment makes no sense whatsoever. I live in the neighborhood and has nothing to do with whatever you claim.
It is very typical in Arizona wtf are you talking about
@@juliepiemonte1281 wtf that has nothing to do with drugs??? If your speeding your not a drug dealer. If your driving under the speed limit your an abomination to the road
@@See_through866 what are you talking about? Roundabouts, driving fast, DWI, or people crashing through the roundabouts?
How about speed bumps before the roundabout?
How about speed bumps and stop signs?
@Julie Piemonte nah more like yield signs and speed bumps.
Ppl need to be accountable and pay attention but typical Phoenix
If you go the speed limit you wouldn’t miss it.
And....if you look through your windshield, you can't miss it.
Speed bumps always slow people down roads!. That need to be done!!!.. 💯
Tell people to quit driving like crash dummies that’s the problem
23rd Ave and Osborn? They're either high or drunk.
And historic.
@@juliepiemonte1281Funny way of spelling Hispanic.
People are idiots. Not much you can do about that. Clearly not paying attention.
It's entirely too easy for idiots to get and keep a driver's license in Arizona.
CLEARLY!!!!!!!👀
More signage? You have to remind some people to breathe I swear.
Sometimes standards need to be raised.
Solar amber flashers signage. Phoenix gets enough Sun to power that device, what would it take death in order for them to resolve this issue?
Neighbors need to make their own signs.
These ppl don't even live in that area that abuse this area. A speed bump would help, from all roads approaching that round about. The one located on 15th ave has speed bumps. Plus there's a golf course located in front of round about.
Sorry but even without seeing signs, those cars were going way too fast, you don't come barreling down streets like that, and not being from that neighborhood etc is no excuse.
You also shouldn't be driving if you can't see this big A round a bout with trees and concrete surrounding it.
Slow the heck down and stop acting like you're Burt Reynolds, because you're no Burt Reynolds.
Maybe don’t drive like a grandma. Because your not a grandma.
0:20 was going far too fast even after it hit the roundabout. The other vehicle that hit the fence was also. All-in-all they all appeared to be inattentive and driving too fast. It appears that the roundabout is there to slow drivers down but these were the ones that simply had a need for speed like the driver that drove so fast he split a LIGHT POLE in half.
Keep that roundabout! The drivers that can't see it simply aren't watching the road. Notice after driving in the roundabout the vehicles didn't stop, showing the drivers didn't see wrong in what occurred.
I was getting ready to say that most cities put in roundabout’s for speed control. Agree with your assessment, not that you needed it. Have a great day and stay safe!
Why have the roundabout there at all? It’s a basic 4 way intersection. Roundabouts are only needed when more than four streets converge.
I agree. I don't want my tax dollars wasted on building a roundabout, then tearing it down because of a few incompetent drivers.
I like to use roundabouts like a ramp to see how high and far I can launch my car.
Me too. They need to remove that pesky tree.
Judging from your profile picture, you don't leave your house.
The city should just clear the brush around the signs. And install more of these exactly like this throughout the city. It should help cut down on the aggressive driving I see out there.
Personally I prefer traffic signals, but Phoenix drivers love running red lights too.
I bet just about everyone of those drivers were prolly on their phones. This isn’t a roundabout problem this is a distracted driver problem
They clearly NEED the fact to paint the road so that the intersection you are about to enter is an actual Roundabout! The center circle is missing any clear signage indicating the direction of movement the road suddenly becomes.
They should remove that poor excuse for a roundabout and replace it with a traffic light like at 23rd Avenue & Campbell. That intersection is more than busy enough for it with all the traffic going down Osborn to I-17.
@@danieldaniels7571 Hell yeah, more intersections! Lets waste more gas and wear our engines faster!
@@BlueOvals24 if you don't want to waste gas and wear out your engine, you can always walk, bike, use an electric vehicle, or ride Valley Metro.
@@danieldaniels7571 You must not be an AZ resident if you think any of those are even an option here. Summers are too hot to bike more than a mile, and it takes longer than driving. Our public transportation is abysmal. We do not have good infrastructure for EVs. If we had properly designed roads with roundabouts among other things they use in Europe, not to mention more competent drivers, we could be more efficient.
@@BlueOvals24 I've been an Arizona resident since 1972, and completely car free for over six months. You must not be a real Phoenician if you can't take the heat.
Really? I mean really? It's not the roundabout, but get the signs up if the community doesn't feel safe and problems happen! You can't fix dumb drivers/driving with signs or by making it easier to speed through your neighborhood.
My god this is hilarious. They put those in for our "safety".
Oh yes because zooming through a stop sign in a residential zone at 40 mph is far safer. Statistics show roundabouts are safer, but stay angry boomer.
It looks like they are speeding regardless so that's a problem but yeah they need more signs and what not to make it safer. Hope something gets done to help it.
Sounds like someone is pocketing money rather than using it for improvements.
That other roundabout isn't at 15th Avenue & Bethany Home. 15th Avenue & Bethany Home has a traffic light with left turn lanes. Please get your facts straight Channel 15.
What is the point of a roundabout? Seems dumb to have. Help with it? How about simply remove it for obviously it isn’t working where it is.
Its not the roundabouts fault.
Driving school certification before a divers license is issued to any driver new or renewal or transfer from another state
If anyone talks about poor signage and it’s hard to see the roundabout until you’re on top of it that’s total bull… I’ve never had problems on streets especially when I know I shouldn’t be hauling down the road above the speed limit. Sorry but the problem isn’t the street on this one. It’s the majority of non-giving a heck drivers poor drivers who speed on every street and not give a heck about road signs.. lived here long enough to know that.. cmon it’s not the signs and roads it’s the majority of drivers who think it’s ok to drive the way they drive. I wonder how most of these people got their license. Especially the ones who don’t put blinkers on and or put it on when they are turning and not 100ft when it’s needed. Blame the drivers…
In France there are multiple little bumpers before the round about 600 meters before plus signals to slow down .
Roundcabout are normal for us but here seems complicated 😬
Those blind drivers can't see the tree
Obviously the city knows that there's a problem there so that's the city's fault that it hasn't been fixed. Maybe they should stop the roundabout take it out make it a four-way stop and put some flashing lights up...🤦🤷👌👍💯✔ you think??????👀omg it does not take a genius to figure that out. 🤔And it shouldn't take the entire department of the "city of phoenix" to figure it out!!!🚜💈👍
You forgot one thing!
The city of Phoenix is run now by liberals!!!! And You know how they run things!!!! They make a problem where there’s no one!!!
I don't see anything wrong with the intersection other than clearing up the brush by the signs. If anything it's doing a public service by helping rid the road of bad drivers. This should be implemented Valley wide.
You can't fix stupid.
That's what is clear about the drivers in the video.
Those intersections are 100% at fault for distracting the drivers watching their screens.
Seems like a lot of bad drivers.
three or four videos out of how many people daily successfully negotiate the roundabout.
I absolutely HATE these "roundabouts". The guy that invented them believes he's a "genius". 😆
They got this stupid idea from Europe, smh
Can't believe she missed the opportunity to say that the round-about has been around about over a decade... 😔
Worst drivers in the country are from Arizona.
Putting more signage only works if drivers put down their phones and watch the road or stop driving at freeway speeds.
Round about should not be allowed. They are horrible. Put traffic lights instead.
City maintenance will tell you they only have two employees. Kate Gallego's paradise.
Of course, the city of Phoenix is now run by liberals!!!! Soon we will be like California!!!!
Get off your phone!
We have a round about, called worried parents taking their own children to school seemed to be totally ignoring children trying to cross street walking to school. Parents seemed in some ambitious mode of driving perfectly, city put up CALMING AREA sign and it worked.
It's as easy as keeping your eyes on the road...duhhhhh
Oh, these things are nightmares
We had a dozen of these things put in in Upstate New York supposedly for safety and they replaced intersections that had four-way stops and traffic lights
Everyday there were hundreds of accidents and people would drive into the wall surrounding the roundabout because they had no idea it was there and we're expecting a Street road and would hit the wall head on at 70 miles an hour and we had deaths every single month and it still happening over 15 years since they were put in.
If an intersection becomes too busy for a four-way stop then put in a traffic light or several and expand it to three lanes on all sides with slip stream lanes and left turn Lanes and no turn on red signs
Never put it around about
In theory it looks good in the simulations but in real life people don't behave like the simulation and the number of accidents increases exponentially
We have roundabouts everywhere here in Europe. It's just about getting used to them.
No, they’re safer in literally every country they’re used. “Hundreds” of accidents because people drove 70 mph into a wall is not a roundabout’s fault, boomer.
The problem is not the roundabout, it is the stupid drivers.
Ohh the open road, where all skill levels come to "work" together. Curious how the tree isn't enough on this one but that's the open road for ya
Driving while under the influence
VS.
Commenting while under the influence
🪦 whatever you were trying to say
Turn it back into a four way stop !
Their standard is dangerously inadequate !
If people would watch the road and not their phone 🙄 its not the road its lack of common sense!
A round about that's been around sounds like my X girlfriend 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well like she said people can't see the run about till a driver gets near, signs should be posted, bushes , trees, should not be planted . It does block the visible, before approaching a street or road, neighborhood.
People in Massachusetts are used to 'round abouts' -reminded every time I go back ;-)
So if I understand this right there's video footage showing the danger as well as signage that is covered up however they say they will not do anything about it unless the residents talk to them that is sad
If you can't see the roundabout, you should at least be able to see the tree in the middle of the road!
Don't get rid of the roundabout! It's a speed control device, and a better one than speed bumps. We need more of these in Arizona and less intersections! Just imorove the signage surrounding the roundabout. I don't want my taxes wasted on people that aren't capable of controlling their speed and watching for changes in the road!
lol, why don't they sink 6" metal posts in concrete around it? problem solved
Why are people speeding
Petition to get rid of it!!!
A cement wall might help
The ginormous tree in the middle of the road wasn’t a clue that something was up? 🤨
I really don't think the whole 'roundabout' idea is a good one, I've seen ppl get confused, take wrong turns, its crazy
Always call a roundabout a crazy corner.🏁
Remove that giant chunk of landscaping growing right in the middle of the intersection and people won't be crashing their cars in an attempt to avoid the obstacle.
A traffic signal
That engineering is a circle island in the middle of the street, not a roundabout. And good luck with signage..requires reading.
The approach islands appear to be mostly paint. Normal modern roundabouts have raised concrete islands to guide drivers around the circle. Of course, no amount of island or sign would prevent the few drivers documented going so fast on a residential roadway. Traffic engineers will never run out of work because...idiots in cars.
the puns lol
Typical for that kind of area
I mean, there's literally no lights or signs.
Those damn things are stupid! Just remove it and make a regular intersection.
if they werent racing down the road they'd see the roundabout before they crash.
It's west phx so they don't care 😔 about us
Roundabouts are dumb just add lights and speed bumps
We have the problem in my city. They are erecting obstacles in the roadway. People are getting hit and cars are having accidents in numbers that were not there before.everywhere pop ups pedestrian crossings you name it. So many you cant drive safely.
Maybe getting rid of the roundabout is the solution.
Signage isn’t gna do anything with bad drivers speeding and not paying attention
Put speed bumps there b4 the round about!. And down the roads!!!!!!!!.
I have a PHD in common sense and am a very safe driver. I'm so grateful.
Doesn't anyone on that street own a pair of snips or a limb cutter?! I cannot count how many summers my dad and I cut back Mr. Potter's hedges so people could see the stop sign.
Roundabouts are obsolete and dangerous. That's what speed bumps are for. Roundabouts cause harm to others around. Speed bumps just mess up your own car.
Stop speeding in a residential area then you can see the roundabout
Now only is she a very good reporter she is a very beautiful 😍 woman..keep the energy and the smile
Get rid of that garbage and install a 4-way light. Easy.
Could have been worse without the roundabout.
A lot of people drive too damn fast!.. period….. and , to top it off, the are distracted with their phone!
People drive to fast
The drivers have lysdexia and think the speed-limit is 51 mph
How do you not see something like that lol
Build a 3 foot wall around it and some signage. Guarantee they won’t be driving through it any longer?
But on a more concerning note, the city really doesn’t care, if they did there would be identical signage at all roundabouts. SMH!
Paint it on the streets as England does.
Maybe take out the stupid traffic circle.
You are just straight up terrible driver, period! Open your eyes...
Take the stupid thing out, it doesn't work, to many drunk and women drivers aren't helping either.
Maybe take the round a bout out and put up a set of lights or maybe just a six foot cement wall after hitting that you won’t need to drive anymore!!!!!
Prior to air conditioning, in the 1950s, the Phoenix area, like all southwest cities, were little more than truck stop and railroad junction cities
But now because of air conditioning, 6 MILLION people live in the Phoenix area
It is INSANE !!!!
THERE IS NO WATER AND TEMPERATURES IN THE SUMMER REACH 130 DEGREES
EVEN AT NIGHT IT ONLY GETS DOWN TO THE 90S
INSANITY
I call em straight throughs
Everyone incredibly STONED ON LEGAL POT, drinking, thinking they're bullet-proof and driving WAY TOO FAST, and stupid. I've never had a problem with a roundabout, but then I drive smart and SOBER!! WISH I'D NEVER VOTED FOR LEGAL STUPIDWEED!
The problem isn't the roundabout, it's the drivers.
How about a good old fashioned 4-way stop!? If need be, how about a traffic light? Those cars that crashed all seemed to be going rather fast! How about speed bumps or speed cameras!? Roundabouts defy common sense, IMO. Their intent is to slow traffic down but they seem, instead, to just be jump ramps.
maybe adding some speed bumps or some slow down ahead street sings ? it's about everyone's safety period
