The thing is, if people become educated to using them properly, most of the issues will improve, but granted there will still be some issues. Obviously the pamphlets haven't worked, that is why I believe, if people had proper in car instruction, most of the iussues with roundabouts would be mitigated. Otherwise, it is going to be status quo, accidents will continue to happen and people will continue to complain.
Do a search on roundabouts and your questions will be answered. Most threads end up with over 150 posts. Each repeating what has been said many, many, many times over.

Now you did it............................another roundabout thread! Yuk!
