I hate them. Sitting around waiting for a space I can fit into without being hit while a steady flood of cars blasts by. Feels like it takes forever. At least with a light, I know that eventually I’m going to get a chance to go.
If it’s not a skills issue, man, I bet the roundabout is too small. I’ve seen some nice spacious ones and they seem to totally flow.
An airport near my old place replaced one of those ‘H’-style on-ramp traffic islands with a circle one each end; then one more very quickly to control a 5-corners to the airport. It was f’n mayhem on day one, but day 30 it was totally smooth sailing. Bam-bam-bam.
The number 1 complaint at an airport in the US was long wait times for baggage, often 15 minutes or more of standing around waiting.
So they moved flights further away from the baggage carousel. Roughly 15-20 minutes of walking away.
The complaints magically disappeared…
This feels like the same thing to me. Plus the traffic flying by without room for you is more often than not you in the future. At some point you benefit from that, although I certainly empathize with your frustration.

Yeah, it’s me in a future where I didn’t get killed by one of them hitting me. That future isn’t the one I worry about. :p
