Dubious claims removed

 * It is especially unique because the right of way is yielded to the travellers in the center of the rotary.

That is actually the default arrangement by state law. There is another rotary in the area where the right of way is reversed, but it does have traffic lights. -- Beland 00:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * It is very intimidating and people from Connecticut often go through it backwards.

That's amusing to imagine, but unreferenced. -- Beland 00:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC) It is especially unique because the right of way is yielded to the travellers in the center of the rotary.


 * [Rotary] has 7 streets going ito it, more than any other known in the world

Arc de Triumph in Paris has 11 streets. Besides, I live in EL, but come from Mexico City, and there are rotaries with more than 7 streets, and are far bigger in Mex. City than EL. --Andresgmejiar (talk) 18:08, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Ahhh!...???

 * "Because of the danger of no traffic lights, accidents could occur quite frequently at this rotary. Though for some reason, there are very few accidents! ahhh!"

This phrase, though amusing, ought to be removed. On the "roundabout" page, it lists examples of rotaries with lights and signs, and why the lack of them actually improves traffic safety and flow. Roteries themselves are far safer than the average intersection, due to all of the traffic going the same way. Funny, though. Ahhh!

Another Dubious Claim
Quote "East Longmeadow hosts an annual Fourth of July Parade. It is the largest Fourth of July parade in western Massachusetts". Can this be verified? As far as I know, Pittsfield, MA., has the largest 4th of July parade, not only in Western Massachusetts, but one of the largest in New England.
