A city council is debating whether to replace a busy four-way stop near two schools with a roundabout. In a memo, the transportation director argues that roundabouts reduce severe crashes by slowing turning traffic and eliminating head-on collisions. The director notes that in the past three years, the intersection averaged 18 minor fender-benders annually and two injury crashes, mostly from hurried left turns during afternoon pickup. Some residents worry that students will be confused, but the director points out that nearby towns added roundabouts and reported fewer ambulance calls. After reviewing the crash reports, the director told the council the roundabout would make the intersection safer for students in a letter. Which revision most improves clarity of the bolded sentence?
