It was built about 20 years ago, and I was living in the area back then.
Before the "roundabout" was built, being a traditional intersection it used to be a major accident hotspot, despite having a speed limit of just 50km/h. Crossing the main road was nightmare, I can tell you that.
With the new topology, which is a very elongated roundabout, the speed limit on the main axis could actually be raised to 80km/h yet accidents now rarely happen there and traffic flow is much improved
