The data cited in the article is based on usage by American drivers. So you can drop your skepticism, they already work.
Anecdotally, they’re converting a number of intersections here in rural, Northern MN to roundabouts and they are _very_ effective at reducing fatalities and injuries.
- DidYaWipe 2y agoI guess that depends on your definition of "work." Do they reduce delays? I believe (and have seen) that they can. But I've also seen traffic circles implemented with stop signs in the U.S., a failure. But hey, I'm down for more to be built in the USA and let's give it a shot.
- grcjufvv 2y agoThis is the reason on that traffic related infrastructure is so insane in the US: here we have evidence that roundabouts save lives, but the only thing the American can wonder is how fast they can get through it (to work no doubt).
- DidYaWipe 2y agoHow do you know that's the ONLY thing? Such a dumb fallacy. You know what else saves lives? Outlawing the use of cars entirely. Why aren't you arguing for that?
