From the Idiot drivers thread, roundabouts were mentioned. Long Beach has gone nucking futz with these things. No 2 are alike. They are constantly being damaged by errant drivers and things like moving trucks that encounter them and can't back up to an alternate route.

This not to mention emergency vehicles, but they have rerouted as much as possible. The general census is that they are not good. Does our city listen to citizens? Of course not. BTW, with on exception of a large traffic circle (that's what they have called it forever) that was built in 1930 on Highway 1 or PCH, all the new ones are in residential neighborhoods where the posted highest speed is 30 MPH.

They do slow people down, I can attest to that. Designed with bike paths in mind, I avoid them on my bike because cars actually come closer.

The newest one was placed for one reason and one reason only. A big lazy intersection that is never busy but is a great place for doing donuts.

Who else suffers these?
