Look, I just think we need to stop coddling those hedonistic roundabout hogs who get into the inner lane and circle for hours, wasting valuable capacity.

Study reports that, surprisingly, the inspiraling roundabout rated the same score as the standard roundabout in the United States for their usability and user comprehension metrics. This is mostly due to the remarkably low score of the standard roundabout.

As a Frenchman now living in the US. Omg people cannot compute roundabouts it’s madness. There’s one at my doctor’s office and every time I go, someone is taking it backwards it’s madness!

Must just be your area. Where I live we have roundabouts all around (I have to go through 3 of them to get to my closest hardware store) and I don't really see that many people that have issues with them. Worst we have to deal with are cars who are too slow to get into the roundabout and wait forever, or drive slowly and clog up the roundabout, but those are pretty rare thankfully.
