Seem to be efficient and

REST IN PEACE,

Roundabouts are great.
Idiots around here use them for a four way stop or stop in the middle to let people in. Frustrating.
My county is installing a roundabout around the corner from where I live.
The primary road is east-west with a 45mph speed limit. The two crossroads have stop signs, and there is a slight offset.
Most people blow through the intersection at 55 to 60. To reduce the number of accidents the county dropped the speed limit to 35. People were still blowing through. The county then spends about $10k to make the intersection a 4 way stop. This reduced accidents to zero.
That wasn’t good enough for the idiot “Mr Smart Growth” county engineer who decided we needed an overly complex roundabout that’s costing us over $2.5 MILLION dollars.
