    Roundabouts are very safe for drivers - they suck for pedestrians and cyclists tho. Especially pedestrians have to cover longer distances.

    They’re neat for areas with high car volumes, really bad for everywhere else

        Either way it’s an annoying detour for pedestrians. That’s why this kind of intersection has no place in locations with a lot of foot traffic.

      That’s not necessarily the case, and depends on a lot of factors. They’re generally great for cyclists. For pedestrians it varies.
