Aren roundabouts confusing?
Roundabouts are different from traffic signals and will require drivers to learn how they operate. Experience in the U.S. has shown that motorists quickly adapt to this new type of intersection. Perhaps the newest illustrations of this are in Vail and Avon, Colorado, the location of numerous high-capacity roundabouts. Both of these cities are major tourist destinations with many thousands of first-time roundabout drivers using the roundabout intersections each year. Despite large number of drivers who have not driven roundabouts previously, these intersections work well and do not confuse motorists.
