Re:The Case for More Traffic Roundabouts by dsfyu404ed on Saturday September 19, 2015 @12:27PM (#10244696)
A large problem with roundabouts is that municipalities tend to build them as poorly or put them places where a light should be.

>filling the center with landscaping that obstructs view

>putting them where a computer controlled light should be (small road meeting large road, stays green toward large road the vast majority of the time)

>put them where a flashing yellow/red should be (tiny road crossing main road

>putting roundabouts in areas that see a large volume of heavy trucks

Roundabouts don't work very well on roads with highly differing traffic volumes
