It's correct that one had been designed in Arverne-by-the-Sea, but the design was halted halfway through and it may have been changed to a signal-controlled circle at this point. Regarding your ranking of the worst drivers in the city, I'm amazed that you left out dollar van drivers (half of whom are operating legally, and half of whom are not - the latter being much worse, as you'd expect), plenty of which you can find in Downtown Brooklyn, Jamaica etc. They are far and away the most aggressive, aggravating, flagrantly law-breaking drivers in the city. Besides their constant honking as they troll for passengers, they routinely run red lights (not lights that just turned red, lights that have been red - they just decide to not wait), weave, turn into crosswalks full of pedestrians, etc. Frederick Douglas is not a roundabout.
