Idiots stopping in the middle as a courtesy to let someone it.

Treating it as an intersection with four-way stop signs.

People just running through it while I have to slam on my brakes to not get hit.

It’s an every day occurrence at the small one I used to use daily. Used it a few times in the past month and once again today. The idiots haven’t changed. But it is an upgrade to the lights

Roundabouts are tough because you have to be able to read and follow rules.

We should’ve never even incorporated roundabouts from our UK comrades, let them keep that goofy shite over there

Small city near me has gone crazy on the roundabouts. I thought it was bad (typical idiot drivers) until I took some side streets and ran into a series of "mini" roundabouts where they didn't increase the size of the intersection - they just put a concrete island on the middle of several residential intersections.

Damn hayseeds.

People should be required to retest for their drivers license every so many years, that could help.

Roundabouts are kryptonite to a MF from Livingston Parish. You'd think they're being asked to solve differential equations.

We have a new one near me at what was a clusterfrick of a 4-way stop. So far, so good, which is a pleasant surprise. It is definitely better than the pile of idiots who inexplicably don't know how to adequately navigate a 4-way stop. That shite is maddening.

May have been a tourist. In many countries, those coming into the roundabout have the right of way.

My dad told me that was the law when he was growing up in NJ.

I see this one the most, but I will say people don't seem to realize that you're still supposed to signal if you aren't continuing straight. Then again, people don't seem to realize you're supposed to signal at all much of the time.

I rarely see them here. But i became an expert on them on Ireland. They don't have stops or lights just roundabouts. And everything was backwards.

A lighted intersection is incredibly more expensive than a roundabout/traffic circle. The negative is there are more car accidents however they are usually low impact whereas a lighted intersection has less accidents, but the morbidity/mortality resulting from those accidents is much higher.
