Re: Roundabouts
Roundabouts are becoming more popular in the states because they're safer. IIRC, the rationale is that you have more accidents at roundabouts, but the accidents that happen are:
1. At lower speed.
2. Not head-on or perpindicular to the direction of travel.
So there are significantly fewer injuries caused by accidents in roundabouts.
In my own experience, I really like roundabouts provided people know how to use 'em. Once roundabout etiquitte catches on here I think you'll start to see them all over.
