Roundabouts seem to be spreading internationally, too. That’s at least my experience. My small hometown in Germany (pop. 40,000) went from no roundabouts only ten years ago to at least four today. My even smaller university town (pop. 30,000) also has at least four brand new roundabouts. My own impression is that roundabouts were very uncommon in Germany only a few years ago but are no uncommon sight today. I have never heard of any protest against them in Germany, only recently the exact opposite happened: the city wanted to put a traffic light at an intersection which lead many people to demand (unsuccessfully, in the end) a roundabout.
