Clearly, those roundabouts are dangerous. Many years ago they had them in Brooklyn AND THEY WERE ALL REMOVED.
I've read that the person in the LEFT lane is allowed to make a right turn. THIS IS INSANITY. Since you need to-or perhaps should, slow down at the roundabout, perhaps they should be one lane.

Rotaries are being used successfully in numerous communities. Las Vegas piloted single lane rotaries and they were a disaster. One averaged 4-5 accidents a week - luckily (poor choice of words) the rotary was right in front of a hospital. A second lane was added and mostly solved the problem. The inebriated in Vegas, and rotaries, just don't mix well.
Rotaries in the Boston area are mostly 4 lanes, and have been around longer than I have. I've never seen an accident on one.
If you look at the directional signs prior to entering our rotaries in TV you'll see that right turns from the left lane are prohibited.
So what's wrong With Brooklyn? Any thing obvious? :
