    Roundabouts are great in countries that train drivers and have strict licence tests, but the are not safer when cars just barrel into them without looking.

      yes they are - you just make shit up

      They are demonstrably safer by avoiding t-bone collisions

      Yes, there is a learning curve

      The same can be said about literally anything. No car infrastructure is safe when cars just barrel into them without looking - only infrastructure made to prevent cars from passing, which is not the point here.

      Is that something that happens? We have a mix of roundabouts and regular intersections in Vancouver, as well as some very questionable drivers. I can’t think of a time when someone messed up at a roundabout. Especially the smaller residential ones
