IMHO....It's not the roundabout that's dangerous, it's the people that drive in them (yes, just like a gun). It's a combination of people that don't care, don't remember, are in a hurry, feel entitled or, think they are doing it right. How many people don't stop at stop signs or speed? A stop sign or speed limit sign and what they mean couldn't be simpler. People understand them but still....
The new signs are very good and when the people that care, and thought that they were doing it right before but weren't, see the signs I think it will sink in with most of them eventually. As for the ones that, don't remember, are in a hurry or feel entitled to do as they please.......well, nothing will change their minds or the way the negotiate roundabouts. In the mix of drivers we have here, there is no perfect solution.
