Amen! It depends on the driver, but they rarely go the speed limit. I use both 12 and 13 and they fly down the road treating pedestrians as a nuisance.

As a cyclist, I've almost been run down by them, like it was a sport .
But, as a passenger on a bus, I've seen 12 kinds of crazy harass the bus driver (and there have been a couple of assaults on drivers as well)
I think with the time schedules they have to keep, it's a tough job and not for everyone.

I’m that happened. Drivers are aggressively unpredictable out here.

The circles flat out shouldn't exist. Almost none of them have enough foot print for visibility, let alone enough room for anyone to be "in" the circles to yield to in the first place. All they do is introduce confusion into an intersection where there didn't used to be any. Nevermind how many people have zero idea how they're supposed to work and either just flat out stop and treat it like a stop sign or on the ones big enough to actually have traffic in them, just stop in the middle of them to let people.
The only ones in Church Hill that really work how they should are the one at the end of Jefferson and the one at the end of 25th by The Market. The rest of them are basically just planters shoved in the middle of intersections for no real reason.
Not excusing the drivers either, but this wasn't an issue before when there were stop signs instead of circles at a lot of these intersections.

Not making excuses for poor driving habits, but I feel for anyone who drives for a living. Who's felt it knows it.
