A closer look
American drivers view roundabouts with an unjustified, deep-seated rage, treating them like confusing circular death traps. In reality, they are a masterclass in behavioral engineering. Traditional intersections allow drivers to blow through red lights at high speeds, resulting in horrific T-bone collisions. Roundabouts forcefully eliminate left turns across traffic and physically require every single car to slow down to a manageable crawl. They cut fatal crashes by a staggering ninety percent, entirely because they assume every driver is an idiot.
