I love roundabouts and find them easy to use.

The save time and fuel by not having to sit unproductively at lights or stop signs.

They reduce congestion imposed by stop lights and stop signs. Packing all the cars and trucks together, as caused by lights and stop signs, leads to both vehicle and pedestrian accidents.

They are safer in that you only have to worry about traffic coming in from your left rather than from both sides as well as coming directly at you. Also no worry about those people who like to run red lights.

Of course, you have to exercise caution in all driving conditions including roundabouts and it certainly helps to read the guidelines to know proper roundabout etiquette.
