Says someone that grew up with them. And they are a little more complicated than “green means go, red means stop”. Efficiency and simplicity aren’t synonyms.
Personally I’m glad we are getting more of them. When I lived in England, and where I learned how to use them, I could see their effectiveness. This was long before they started gaining in popularity in the US. Living in the US, you may have only seen them in pictures, or in a scene in a movie, so it just looked like an absolute clusterfuck if you didn’t know what was going on. Now, I just wish people here would fucking signal properly when using them because that is really the key to maximizing their efficiency.
Why on earth would anyone be afraid of roundabouts? Like they aren’t even more complicated than traffic lights to understand.
