I like roundabouts.

They would be good if people knew how to use them

Reality is that it’s the design with the highest concentration of accidents

Really? Had no idea.

Any idea how many you’ve caused?

They are still safer. Numerous studies have shown that the decrease in fatalities or serious injuries with roundabouts. They do tend, however, to cause more minor accidents.

So you are not wrong that they cause more accidents, but I’d rather get a dent on my bumper than lose an arm!

You have stats in that? I’ve never seen so many accidents in my life as at traffic lights and very few at roundabouts
