The Statistics say yes:
• 37 percent reduction in overall collisions
• 75 percent reduction in injury collisions
• 90 percent reduction in fatality collisions
• 40 percent reduction in pedestrian collisions
But old ways die hard and new drivers find them difficult to navigate. None the less they are coming and coming fast. In my area I see them springing up everywhere. The controversy rages, (Five Reasons American Drivers Will Never Love Roundabouts), (Don’t Be So Square:Why American drivers should learn to love the roundabout). It looks to me like roundabouts are winning.
So no doubt with roundabouts growing all over the country I believe we need to learn to navigate them properly.. Here are some tips from around the internet.
