While it may be annoying when a favorite type of article is listed for deletion, it's best viewed as a chance to argue your case to not delete it.
Remember that the case for deletion needs a consensus, which is actually pretty hard to raise if an article has any merit.
So in other words, the traffic circle articles have no merit? Bull.
In particular, the notability argument is extremely weak, and in most cases directly contradicts deletion policy.
Deletion policy states explicitly that if the only problem with an article is that it's on a branch of a subject so trivial that it doesn't merit an article, it is *not* a candidate for deletion, but should be merged to a more comprehensive article.
This isn't only policy, it's also a pretty sensible argument for merging.
I'd honestly have no problem with merging into the town, as it is a local landmark. It shouldn't break the GFDL even if the article is deleted, as the revision history is now available to all for deleted articles.
