NOT the roundabout's fault! No different than stupid driving tricks on the highway. . . I have those on compact disc

I agree that it is NOT the roundabout's fault.But I believe that they should only be single lane. If there is too much traffic for a single lane, then a traffic light needs to be installed. I wonder what the cost difference is between a traffic light and a roundabout - when you factor in the additional cost of constantly changing the flowers and the confusion caused by roundabouts. people are more families with red lights.

Or which one "costs" more.

For you, and anyone else that believes the RBs should be single lane: How bad do you think traffic will back up AT EACH AND EVERY RB when 2 lanes have to merge into 1 prior to the RB????? Just about as bad as the ridiculous notion of replacing them with traffic lights. The answer is LEARN TO DRIVE or GET OFF THE ROADS.

One lane? How about 6?

That image is LOL funny.

Look closely, tractor trailer-type trucks are allowed in it and they block access to those wanting to exit in three places. Crazy. Which causes those exits to have very little or no traffic...jamming the whole scenario. Get the trucks out.

I did an image search to try to figure-out where that is, didn't quickly find it but, did come across this X post that includes that image and another even crazier one below it. A traffic circle you can also go through?! Yikes...
