I have mixed feelings about roundabouts. Like, when done well they obviously work and they are even mildly entertaining to drive around when traffic is light but many towns slapped them in places where obviously there barely enough space for intersection, let alone roundabout and it is just awkward to drive around.
- qwytw 3y agoI guess in Europe roundabouts are often just the alternative to stop signs since it's the only way you can have an intersection between equal priority streets without traffic lights.
- graton 3y agoRoundabouts are quite a bit safer than alternatives like stop signs and traffic signals. Hard to have T-bone crashes plus it forces the speed to be reduced.
- dontlaugh 3y agoMini roundabouts are great too. The awkwardness is part of the point, they encourage slowing down.
