Actually, they work pretty well when people understand them. We have six on the main road (North to South) on our island. No stop lights or signs. All you have to remember is yield to cars coming from your left side in the rotary. The biggest problem is people stopping when they don’t need to causing cars to stack up behind them. We get a lot of tourists here and those are usually the ones that don’t understand how it works

Roundabouts suck monkey balls... People entering mostly think they don't have to yeild to cars already in the circle jerk. They put one on a busy truck route worked out fukin awesome...

A lot of drivers in the USA are not familiar with roundabouts or rotaries.
They aren’t that common here. As a result, they don’t understand how they work and end up doing stupid shit when faced by one. |

We have a few in the H-Town area, including one on either end of the tunnel under the Ship Channel. That's an industrial area, so everybody's an old pro with them, they know what to do, no issues. I have seen issues at another one closer in town. The saving grace there is, the roundabout is brick paved.....it's so rough people really have to slow down. When I saw a potential issue happen, the driver that had the right of way was going slow enough he were able to just stop and let the clueless drivers force his way in without incident.
