I just don't understand all the fuss but I attribute it to simply being something that many are not used to from whereever they came previously. Either get used to them or find alternate routes to get to your destination. The two lane roundabouts are not going anywhere.

If the two lane RB's were one lane RB's and there were still accidents, would we be calling for half lane RB's? I know that's a rediculous statement, but I made it just to demonstrate just how far outside of the logic box we can stretch things sometimes, and if that were widely practiced, there could very well be no TV today! If we had three lane RAB's, would the call would be for two lanes ; four lanes to three; five lanes to four, etc.? Personally, I feel that my glass is half full on this and I'm just happy we don't have RAB's like this one here in TV:
