Not one is a 4 lane street. Not one is on a street wide enough to have a median. Still think these are great? Most are on streets that are 40 to 50 feet wide.

There is ONE roundabout in the whole of Los Angeles and it's nestled under 2 freeways nowhere near residential.
Google Maps: 34.08125041693894, -118.2300230786747

Look at this one: 33.76618139773021, -118.1373864631611 Follow that street left and right to find 4 of these little things. Residential speed limit is 25. OH, and each one still has a stop sign. 4 way and 2 way.
that moth%$ F#$&^ is right near my house next to the home depot. I have to get through it daily to get my kid to school to avoid the interchange nightmare. Before that, it flowed like a river for 20 years and never any real mess due to a 4 way light. Now with the two lane round about, along with the fooking commercial art object in the middle (I am sure us tax payer pay a huge amount for it) causes traffic like if it was in downtown LA. People are at a dead stop waiting for it to clear before they enter and of course on their phone with every chance they get so it movers even slower. Its not residential but a semi busy intersection. Drivers are constantly taking up two lanes due to their inability to stay in their own lane in their little tiny cars.
