The delays would come about because you would in effect be changing all approaching roads to one lane...two lanes of traffic can't enter a one lane roundabout nearly as efficiently. Merging would be forced...at higher volumes this is a disaster. The capacity of the overall system would be damatically reduced. At very low traffic volumes, maybe not much of a problem. At higher traffic volumes comes the disaster.
