I live in the US and roundabouts simply don't work.

Not much of America's traffic infrastructure works well. Every month, combined with poorly trained motorists, it contributes to another 9/11's worth of fatalities. The infrastructure you think works, kills enough people for a thirteenth month at the end of every year.

They have their downsides, but "It doesn't work in America" is more informative of American motorists than roundabouts

		Yeah I regularly drive in France which has terrible drivers (road deaths way above EU average in France) but it's nowhere near as bad as the US. The one thing people should ponder is this: Germany has less than 3x the number of road deaths (no matter how you count it: per 100 K people, per kilometer, etc.) than the US. And yet every time I'm in Germany I happily drive at 125 mph on the highway (including when I drive to Poland, where most autobahns near Dresde have no speed limit at all whatsoever). And at 125 mph, I'll get overtaken by some cars going proper fast. So, what, 65 to 70 mph max speed limit vs unlimited speed and three times the deaths: what's the problem? Note that I'm certainly not advocating for US (or France for that matter) highways without speed limits: drivers are way too bad.
