I don’t mind roundabouts. There is one just a few blocks from my house, I go through it all the time, a busy intersection and if it were a signalized intersection with left turn lanes etc, it would take a lot longer to get through it - instead you just yield, merge, and drive on. I’ve never seen an accident there (and I drive through it probably once a day on average for 18 years now) and it makes sense that any accidents would be side-swipe collisions instead of one 40 mph car t-boning or head-on into another. Not great for cyclists, although I have ridden through it often, you need to be pretty quick and assertive, and I can’t see any way for a little kid to safely cycle through it. There are cross walks, so crossing as a pedestrian is okay-ish, but I’d like to see a raised curb “pedestrian refuge” mid-crossing because, well, drivers.
