Is Every Speed Limit Too Low?

Depends on the size of the roundabout, some are designed for 40 mph others for a more sane 20 mph.

I mean, a roundabout is a system for efficient "giving way". 20mph is only "more sane" when a roundabout is in a low speed limit area. We've got plenty of them on 60mph zones - you've got no interest in having cars slow down and accelerate again when not necessary (if nothing else because it's a waste of energy as well as time).

How is it efficient for "giving way"? If one entry is highly traficated, entries between the traficated one and the popular exits cannot get in.
