Roundabouts are almost always a good idea, assuming there is sufficient traffic. They keep traffic flowing faster, more predictably, and with fewer accidents.

No, they just interrupt the flow of traffic by slowing it down. The classic pattern of side roads with less traffic yielding to incoming traffic on the main road carrying more traffic is the correct road layout that minimizes frustration and confusion. Roundabouts are the favorite tool of left-leaning, anti-car, vanilla soy latte-sipping urban planners.

		No, they reduce the number of accidents, and also reduce the severity of accidents.

		Good to know that I'm getting to my destination faster and more safely all because of woke! https://www.iihs.org/research-areas/roundabouts#traffic-flow... Btw your 'classic pattern' of highly unbalanced traffic flows is specifically called out as a non-ideal candidate for a roundabout, maybe the urban planners get cow milk in their lattes after all.

		Okay, at this point you're going to need a source. Because that's counter to every civil engineer I've talked to about it. Or maybe you are a civil engineer, but got your PE license 40 years ago. > Roundabouts are the favorite tool of left-leaning, anti-car, vanilla soy latte-sipping urban planners. Given that part, I think it's more likely you're just a bitch ass maga troll. I hope your dear leader enjoyed his bouncy castle party. How's that ballroom coming along?
