I hate roundabouts. Along with merging onto a main road, those are the 2 things that don't follow any logical system and are just 'find a way to do it'. I can't drive like this
There are very specific and easy to understand rules for entering and exiting a roundabout but because 99.8% of Americans don't know them they turn in to free for alls
Tbh, part of America's problem is that half of the rotaries look like this. I lived near one that had traffic lights and stop signs too. Worst part is that the rotary is typically dominated by cars coming in from one intake and blocks every other intake, which backs up traffic immensely.
>on the inside lane >need to exit >there's a car next to me >can't exit without driving into his side >keep going round and round on the inside lane >aaaaaa
The one built near me was a 2 lane one and they failed to put proper sinage up so there were a ton of accidents. They also made the center huge and planted so you couldn't see very far.

literally both of those have extremely easy rules, theyre easier than any random intersection.
Traffic inside the roundabout has right-of-way, you drive against the clock, you signal when you exit (because theres only one way to go when you enter, theres no sense to signal it).
Merging into right of way... you wait for a sufficient opening, traffic going along the right of way or turning from it have priority, with other subordinate roads its "to your right goes before you", left-turn has to wait for incoming traffic crossing their turn unless its on the right of way.
Turning on a multi-lane road, you turn onto the lane you were on if theres multiple turn lanes. E.g. if youre on the outermost lane of the turn, you enter the outermost lane, if youre driving the inside circle you stay on the inside. Literally completely intuitive and logical.
>time to merge >oh there's a lot of traffic >I'm going pretty fast hope there's a space soon >oh god more traffic gotta slam on my brakes hope those people behind me don't hit me >now I'm stopped so even if there's a gap I'm gonna have to absolutely floor it >there are cars piling up behind me >cars passing inches away at like 80mph >still no space to merge >fuuuuuck

Well thats just r-slurred design. Making a roundabout without a physical obstacle is recipe for disaster.

It looks like they're driving on both the left and right side of the road.
Is this an art piece?

Roundabouts are the euro elite's slow burn way to make all europoors not own transportation so they can be more easily controlled.
