Roundabouts move more traffic.

has anyone concidered the Hawaiian "Merge" factor ??
RE: Roundabout test on "Myth-busters" - DanielP - 10-16-2013
Or the "drive with Aloha" factor?
RE: Roundabout test on "Myth-busters" - james weatherford - 10-16-2013
Drive with aloha is all good with roundabouts.
Merge is no worries either, since roundabouts do not involve merging.

Round and round go the cars. Everyone must merge into that moving circle.

The action that takes place is yielding.
Just like we do at many intersections now.

New Jersey was the 'Roundabout' capitol of the US. Far less accidents too.
However, they found that out after they removed them ALL and added traffic lights.
I think they are gas saving too.

James,
"Drive with aloha is all good with roundabouts."
I don't know what that means, it makes little sense to me. Can you explain what you mean?

Spoiler alert.
Summary of the video: roundabout was able to get 20% more cars through the intersection than the 4-way Stop signs.
