Statistically roundabouts are safer than intersections, but many Americans don’t know how to navigate them properly.

Not all roundabouts are created equal. Nor is the signage.

The signage for that particular is bad (there’s contradictory directions) and there isn’t a section in the drivers manual that discusses 2 lane roundabouts. For a lot of people that go through it, it’s their first time using a 2 lane roundabout so they have to learn on the fly

This is not actually a roundabout, it’s a form of a roundabout with all the extra lanes and confusing lines everywhere. It’s a terrible design

We got a few of those type of roundabouts here in Mesa Arizona never an issue because it's clearly signed and the lines are clearly visible.. Right off of 202 and brown.. Plus there's no plants in the middle but if you go down brown you'll run into two of them before the highway and after it ,, I actually like them You just need clearer signage but yeah I could see people not understanding it because it's different and as you know people are pretty dumb when it comes to driving. Definitely much better without a light ,, You don't have to wait The flow is much better.. If you put in Lights I'm sure you would get more revenue put a camera right there to .. But yeah it's never an issue here we have two of them in a row it took about one or two trips to get used to them , When they were first built Over a decade ago

Every one of these fools saying a red light would be better would be the first to complain when the power goes out and the intersection is a huge mess. Roundabouts are safer, cheaper to build, and work when the power is out. We need more of them, not fewer.

Just looking at the signage alone, that in my opinion is grossly inadequate to educate a first time user how to proper use a roundabout and that's what you should be thinking about with signage since roundabouts aren't common. There should also be 15 MPH speed limit signs approaching and throughout the roundabout to get the point across, you should be going very slow while using it. It may not cause most to slowdown, but it will cause some to slowdown.

Roundabouts are a good idea but are really best when both roads are low speed or one is significantly more prominent than the other. This one has two fairly large fairly high speed, high traffic streets abruptly converging and the speed + volume + limited reaction time start to cancel out the benefits and make it super dangerous.

These round abouts are very common throughout Europe and the world. It’s only in America that people are ignorant about them. Drivers are given no instructions in how to navigate through them. They are more efficient in keeping the flow of traffic moving without stopping at red lights. Drivers need to be educated in how to use roundabouts as they are more efficient and keep traffic flowing in all directions.

I think the roundabout in Mess at Horne and Main, the one with the light rail train that runs through it, is in competition for that title. It's got to be a close second. So dangerous!!!

The problem is driver ignorance, too many Americans refuse to educate themselves to the smallest degree on how a roundabout works. It's incredibly simple if you just throw out the four way stop mentality.

The US has been sold down the river many, many, presidents ago. We use/allow foreign engineering systems & blue prints for many of our large-land structures, buildings & parking layouts. E.g. Grocery stores, Apartment complexes, Venues, Etc.. Ever wonder 🤔 "Who came up w/ this idea" "There's always an accident" "Didn't they know there's a busy ______ next door!" Well, whoever "they" is doesn't. Many 1st generation ideas & Overseas infrastructure layouts

Modern roundabouts are proven safer than signals and have less daily delay. The one in the story was build too large. Smaller sizes reduce speed to 20 mph or less in the roundabout and this is the primary tool that makes them safer.

I love roundabouts with one lane. All you have to think about is yielding once to enter, and then you have the right of way. Two+ lanes is where I agree with you.
