Kas riik omandab vajalikud kinnistud täies ulatuses või ainult minimaalses vajalikus ulatuses? 2.3. Mart Hiob. Miks ei võiks ka teised põhjapoolse ümbersõidu ristmikud lahendada ringristmikuna? 2.4. Auri Loog. Sama küsimus kui Mardil - miks mitte ringristmik näiteks Vorbusel. 2.5. Roosmaa, Talvi. Sama küsimus kui Mardil ja Auril. Kaaluda tugimaantee planeerimist nii, et see asuks praegusel Vorbuse teel ringristmikuna, kasutades seejuures ära juba olemasolevat Vorbuse teed (22102). Seega oleks võimalik säilitada liikumine ka mööda olemasolevat Vorbuse tee trajektoori, mis praegu planeeringu järgi katkeb. 2.6. Priit (külaline). Sama siin- teha üks ja korralik eritasandiline ringristmik mitme asemel, jättes alles ka olemasolevat trassi.
