This PSA brought to you by several would-be assassins who tried to wave me in front of speeding cars in the last month and who will have to try harder next time.

    It’s more the amount of choke points that turn to gridlock at rush hour. That plus it’s the Midwest so 85% of the population doesn’t understand how they work.

      I think it’s probably got more to do with the drivers. There are plenty of roundabouts like this where I am in Aus, and they get used just fine. Over here they have a far lower rate of accidents than other types of intersections. We never have 4 way stops either, we just put a roundabout there.
