Roundabouts are generally pretty shit for pedestrians and cyclists, yeah. Also, they are way more of a pain in the ass to drive in than a regular intersection. I'm yet to see a single example of a roundabout making an intersection easier to maneuver.

EDIT: I don't actually agree with this sentiment. I copy and pasted this from something someone said on donoteat01's Discord server. I just wanted to start a struggle session.

    Roundabouts are a great solution if you've already taken the blackpill on having a walkable city, though they require that a city commits to them because people need to be used to them to see the benefit and having just one or two randomly thrown in will cause problems.

    But having a walkable city is better than having roundabouts. Fuck cars.
