    Fun fact, my town just installed a roundabout right in front of town hall last summer.
    I have yet, and I mean this, yet to get to that roundabout and not have someone completely F it up. Every single time, without fail. To the point I no longer go that way unless I have to; and it used to be my go-to shortcut to get to Costco or I-80. Per my buddy who is the town PD's second shift patrol Sergeant, it has been an unmitigated disaster- there's at least one crash there per week. In a 25mph zone.

    Only Fibs could F up a roundabout so bad I wish they'd turn it back into a 4-way stop.

    I know what you mean. When I lived in the city and they installed round abouts, I had to use one every day to get to work and back. My middle fingers were sore from over use, and I was switching hands!

    I have three in my neighborhood I have to pass through to get to the interstate. Fortunately, I leave the house every morning by 6:30 and avoid most of the traffic. But yeah, roundabouts suck.

    Up here is Rocks and cows they have what I call a sweedish round about you go around a corner and you have the option to go straight or go thru the corner there is also a side access after the curve going a different direction. There are 3 of those in my 15 mile trek to I 94.

    I would love roundabouts but people at large (and To Be Fairrrrr it's not just FIBs) cannot seem to figure them out. When it's just me it's fine; anytime there's another car at the same time they F it up. If they're already in the turn they stop, if it's not their turn to enter they go.

    And they NEVER use their signal when exiting.

    Akin to idiots who can't navigate round abouts... The evil cousin is called a diverging diamond interchange. When they rolled them out here it was pandemonium.

    Thing is you can not make it simple enough for dumbasses to master.
