Around here I look both ways when entering a roundabout.

Many roundabouts in UK are nothing more then a painted white circle about 8' diameter with a sign. No island at all.
The problem is not size, but learning the correct procedure and sticking to it.
In TV getting everyone to sing off the same song sheet is the problem.

.....It is NO LONGER WORKING in high-density VillageLand.
.......I never saw any double-lane roundabouts (only single-lane) in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

As to your comment about moving traffic, the actual experts disagree...

Also, from the Google machine:

"Roundabouts improve traffic flow and are better for the environment. Research shows that traffic flow improves after traditional intersections are converted to roundabouts."

Might I refer you to Paris?:

Imagine the fun that would create on Morse.
Six mini roundabouts, on one large roundabout, traffic can move either left or right.
Works well.

Notice that these roundabouts are MUCH larger than the ones in TV to handle greater traffic and the one around the Arc de Triomphe is considered the “the suicide run” by international drivers.

However, in defense of roundabouts, they are much safer in most accidents and they do work in moving traffic along. It is true that new places are adopting them they are just designed to consider future traffic flows as well.
