I know this is memes but as a Brit, I’ll never understand how people are scared of, don’t understand, or don’t see that roundabouts are superior.

It takes a few goes in them during driving lessons and they get easier.

They're good in low traffic areas. They're way better than a 4 way stop, but in high traffic areas traffic lights are better.

Edit: Apparently I was wrong about this.

A few actual problems:

Because they don't provide any breaks in traffic, high flow times can make it difficult for people living downstream to get out of their driveway
People with eyesight disabilities can have problems navigating them. Advocacy organizations would like them to use stop signs rather than yield signs, but this reduces the throughput of the roundabout.

If a driveway directly leads into a high flow road, you have a stroad problem, not a roundabout problem.
