    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.

      You only need one roundabout to be able to drive for hours without seeing a traffic light. It’s one of the main features of loops.
