People are crossing each other at high speed, this is the BUG, and should be fixed. > The proper solution is putting there a roundabout, and you will have instantly less fatal accidents. People are only "crossing each other at high speed" in these simulations because the scenario involves someone running a red light: > Here, for example, you can see on the bottom of the screen that the simulated Waymo Driver avoids a reconstructed version of a real-life fatal crash by obeying the speed limit—and not running a red light, as the initiator did in real life [emphasis mine]... I don't think "roundabout all the things" is the answer to every traffic and road safety problem. This looks like an intersection between two 3/4 lane roads, and you'd need monster roundabout for it that seems like it would be confusing and/or slow. Also, a road can "have instantly less fatal accidents" by being closed or turned it into a traffic jam. IMHO, the road engineers need to balance accident avoidance, throughput, and user-friendliness.
