This may not be as simple to analyze as it seems. For example, if one roundabout has had more accidents than another it does no necessarily mean that it is a more dangerous roundabout. It could simply be because that roundabout gets more traffic. The roundabout at the Lake Miona Rec Center for example, may have more accidents than the ones near it, but the accident rate per vehicle using that roundabout may be less.
