    That’s the point of a roundabout. It lowers speed at the crossing while also increasing throughput compared to a regular crossing.

    So you can indeed lower speed at a crossing area while not lowering the speed of traffic overall, just by eliminating the waiting times.

      Yeah, but then us Americans have to learn how to drive in circles and that’s really hard apparently.

        Roundabouts exist in the oldest parts of the US. Go east and you’ll find them everywhere.
