You can tell none of the posters are from central Indiana. The city of Carmel, Indiana is know for its roundabouts. They have roundabout for exits and entrances to major highways. It is actually two roundabouts connected together. The elevated roundabouts are located on the lesser of the "busy" streets with exit and entrance ramps off of the major artery. The system works quite well once one gets the hang of it. When we left Indianapolis to move to TV the cities of Indianapolis and Carmel were proposing building a roundabout for the highest traveled intersection in the entire state of Indiana.

I haven't seen the article in the other on-line news source. I tried looking for it before posting but did not see it. I agree if you have a roundabout like the current ones in TV, it could be a real mess. However, if one of the more advanced designs are used, you might just like the idea.
