A standard roundabout is not inherently safe for cyclists. Vehicles crossing the bike lane multiple times at uncomfortable angles is not a safe design.

A bike roundabout, modeled on Dutch intersection design, gives cyclists their own separate circular path. Vehicles yield to cyclists at every crossing.

The geometry is simple. The safety result is dramatic.

And it almost never gets built in the United States.
