The city I grew up in had no roundabouts back then. Today it does have some, some were even made and removed again since. People there hate roundabouts.
The city I live nearby now has so many roundabouts that I can drive for over an hour without seeing a traffic light. It always had those, people are used to using them.
Guess what works better and barely has any traffic issues at all.
Even refueled while driving and got pulled over by police once. The police was basically just like "It's not illegal, but we got a report about you and wanted to make sure you're okay. You can keep doing it as long as you're not impeding traffic".
Depends on the roundabout, actually. With a turbo roundabout[0] the lanes form a spiral rather than a circle, so you are automatically forced to the outside and doing multiple turns is physically impossible.
