Do roundabouts actually make city driving safer, or do they just frustrate locals who never learned to yield properly? I've driven through the new circle at 5th and Main every morning for six months, and I've seen three near-misses where someone cut across two lanes to avoid missing their exit. The data from Europe shows fewer fatal crashes, but maybe American drivers need a different approach, like better signage or a public education campaign before we install more of these junctions.
