They build roundabouts pretty regularly in my area of Iowa, its just that we have a lot of fucking idiots that can’t bother to try to figure them out, so even though I know how to drive through one, I tend to avoid them so I don’t risk getting hit.
Yeah Ohio has been slowly switching to roundabouts for over a decade. Then i moved to the PNW where they’re definitely slower to making the switch but still doing it.
Major intersections it’s still rare, but I’ve lived in a small town where the primary intersection was a roundabout
Its funny you mention the PNW, I lived in WA for most of my life and the shitshow that went down at the new at the time roundabout the next town over is 100% responsible for my avoidance of them today. I saw an older driver turning left into it and drove against traffic despite very clear signage and a clear flow of traffic.
