Lower speed at intersections, fewer points of potential conflict, no high speed rear end crashes, and no T-bone crashes are all a major part of why the real world data has shown and with more and more roundabouts being built continues to show that not only are there fewer crashes where signaled intersections have been converted to roundabouts, but the severity of crash is also reduced -- less property damage and fewer incapacitating injuries.
