Our town has loads of them too, and everyone think they understand them. Still accidents are common because people think it's ok to just go straight through by changing lane to inner and then directly exiting without yielding to the ones crossing their path in the outer lane.
- bobthepanda 3y agoAt least in the Netherlands its recommended that the two lane roundabouts have mountable curbs specifically to prevent lane changing. The US is unfortunately loth to install any sort of divider more than paint or a feeble plastic post, and less than a jersey barrier.
- dtech 3y agoWe have quite a few without curbs too, but they usually have markings for what lane is for what direction and are "skewed" so that you don't normally have to change lanes. Example: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3z6NZXGdb2HRVtfW7 https://maps.app.goo.gl/3z6NZXGdb2HRVtfW7
- yreg 3y agoIn my country accidents per roundabout are far less common than accidents per traditional crossroad.
- Moru 3y agoSorry, didn't write the whole thing. Yes, it's much less accidents and those that happen are at much lower speeds and leads to less bad accidents.
