The discussion about road safety in residential areas of Cyprus needs to focus on a comprehensive approach, taking into account traffic flow, driver behavior, and the protection of human life. The article argues that roundabouts are a superior option to traffic lights, as they significantly reduce fatal and serious collisions, enforce lower speeds, and improve traffic flow.
