Roundabout throughput drops when traffic load increases. They are useful (and great) for low volume traffic/suburbs.

If you have such a high-traffic road, shouldn't you use interchanges instead anyway?

Even for large roundabouts with traffic lights?

Yes, large roundabouts have horrible throughput vs the space they take up.
