Roundabumps for Village Roudabouts? Is this a good idea?

Reported as being considered for The Villages, the idea of "Roundabumps" as noted in the BLACKPOOL STAR...

"from the Blackpool Star: Roundabumps for London's roundabouts. Seen as a means to decrease speed in the roundabouts and to discourage London's clueless drivers from touring around the roundabouts, speed bumps are considered for the outside lane of two lane roundabouts. The presence of speed bumps will, according to local councilmen, encourage drivers to take the inside lane and only use the outside lane for immediate left hand turns."

I'm thinking it would cause me to avoid the outside lane except when I had to be in it to prepare for exiting the roundabout, but the added distraction of the bumps may cause more accidents than not?
