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.

      When they first started installing them, the locals had a lack of cultural familiarity with them and would be very sheepish upon approaching them, and sometimes do absurd things like drive around them in the wrong direction .

      lmao when my city replaced the stop signs on one road with mini-roundabouts, there was one instance when one driver late at night started driving around it 20 times á la that one scene in European Vacation.
