Honestly, I dont know what country youre living in. Look at 93, it drops to 55 for a while without changing lanes. 95 into New Hampshire stays the same lanes and drops to 55. Where I live, on the Fells in 2 different spots it stays 2 lanes each way, and fluctuates between 25 and 35. Basically the same amount of residential road. The JWay does about the same thing and everyone ignores them. So I dont agree with you on that regard.
As for rotaries the less in the boston area the better. People do not understand them. Ive almost been hit about a thousand times by people who just barrel into them without even slowign down. I tend to change routes on rotaries judging from how traffic is generally behaving.
If you ever get bored and want to make an argument FOR rotaries, go to everett, the rotary right between Main St and 99 and watch how many near accidents there are every day just from people NOT yielding.
