Video description:
Roundabouts - the circular intersections seen all over Europe and elsewhere in the world - are said to be far safer than traffic lights. Research shows they reduce crashes, clear up congestion and save cities quite a bit of money. They have a heritage in the U.S., but America has a fraction of the roundabouts that far smaller countries like France, Spain and the United Kingdom have. But there are some states that are adopting them, and one small town in particular: Carmel, Indiana. The people of Carmel love their roundabouts and the mayor credits them with helping revitalize his city. So are they all they’re cracked up to be? And if so, why hasn’t the U.S. adopted them?

    just to have a conversation. I think usa has the most violent society ,because without violence you couldn’t accept credit score or no rest from work. having your life constantly at risk, either having it gravely compromised by a car accident (the msising roundabout of the article) or ripped away by a shooting… this is key to us capitalism.
