Roundabouts are awesome when people know how to use them to keep traffic flowing. But people are kumquats.

@JadziaBenntley @stux And then there is that variant... the roundabout that has become too busy to work properly, so that traffic lights have been added.

People often criticise roundabouts because there ARE accidents on them, however they are not usually as bad as when someone runs a red light and wipes out someone coming the other way.

Absolutely, Roundabouts slow traffic down yet keep it moving. Lights have all sorts of issues.

I'm pretty sure studies have shown that Roundabouts are many times more efficient, as long as people use them properly.

I thunk I actually get more frustrated at Roundabouts than Lights because I'm like "you could have gone 8 times dickhead"

You need to watch the whole roundabout, not just the car you're technically meant to give way to.
