That last one… I think they have some of those around Chicago.

Roundabouts work quite well, but only if you, and all the users, understand the rules for using them.
2.29 — “Turbo Roundabout” — Yikes! Are you kidding me? Do these things exist?
I can’t imagine the confusing mass of signage (and lane shifting) well before you get to it — to separate your guys into three distinct “this direction only” lanes —
and then once inside it — which way to turn, which turns are not allowed, and whether the merge involves anyone yielding or not.
All the planners come from New Urban Design schools. New Urban Design likes roundabouts. It really, really likes them. So you will use them. Because they’re planners. And you are a component of the plan. Function accordingly.
Roundabouts work well in places with no or intermittent electricity.
In other words the third world. Also preferably with an ox cart rather than an automobile.

The ones in Chicago include armed carjackers.
Grrrr. Here in leftardville (California), the overlords have put us on a “road diet”, aka “traffic diet”. Basically, they take away traffic lanes, and add bike lanes in an effort to encourage use of bikes and public transport.
the actual purpose of roundabouts as used by modern urban planners is to slow traffic. The no traffic light thing is a bonus. Meanwhile on US101 through Santa Clara county they eliminated all the full cloverleafs, replaced them with “diamond interchanges”. To improve traffic? watch the video!. reduced possible traffic flow by 20%.Leftards indeed.
