Roundabouts are great for cars, and awful for just about everyone else. People, bikes, buses, trucks: all face difficulty or death in their presence.

- bkor 7y ago> People, bikes, buses, trucks: all face difficulty or death in their presence. Roundabouts make my bicycle commute way faster. This in The Netherlands where we cycle a lot. Difficulty or death is entirely incorrect. Suggest to compare the designs across countries, maybe there's a huge difference in the design?
- stoobs 7y agoI think the issue comes when people try to circumvent the give-way priority - which gets worse when there are multiple lanes and multiple exits. It certainly seems to be a people problem rather than a roundabout deign issue from my experience? People trying to "beat" people out onto the roundabout rather than giving way, people not using proper lane discipline and squeezing/cutting into other lanes etc..
- andrepd 7y agoYou should copy the Dutch then. Their car+bike road designs are something else. Roundabouts included.
